These are VERY rich...so if you are a chocolate lover this is definitely for you. The Ghirardelli makes a world of difference for sure.

Excellent brownies! They got rave reviews at my annual cookie party and later at work! I must admit that I made a few additions... I added an extra shot of peppermint schnapps, extra mint chocolate chips to the brownie batter, and I crumbled the Dark Chocolate pieces and sprinkled them across the top (I'm not a big fan of frosting on brownies). They came out oooey & gooey and OH SO GOOD! Great for the holidays! :)

We really liked these brownies! I didn't have a 9x9 square, so I put them in my 8x8...I don't think I would do that again...they were REALLY thick. I increased the baking time by 10 min, and they were still a little underdone. I think I would put them in a biscuit pan next time. They taste yummy, but they're not the nice slim looking brownie in the picture...they were more like cake size! But really yummy and fudgy good!!!

These brownies were really good- extra minty. I had problems getting them out of the pan, even though I greased the pan. They seemed to crumble from the inside. Will definitely bake these again!

These brownies were really good! They were hard to get out of the pan without ruining the brownie, so grease your pan well. I also think that the actual presentation of the brownies with the candy cane is better than the taste of them. I just didn't like getting chunks of candy can stuck in my teeth as I was eating them. My boyfriend loved them though, and I'll probably make them again. Definitely a good holiday treat!

Very yummy! These brownies are easy, delectable and pretty! The brownies are very fudgy, so don't overbake them like I did. The recipe said to bake them until a tester comes out clean. Well, I ended up baking them an extra 8 minutes and the toothpick still wasn't clean. I took them out anyways and after they cooled I realized that I had overbaked them. So my recommendation is to bake them for 45 minutes and just take them out, don't test them. The only other problem was that the "frosting" separated where the mint layer was, so be sure to get the melted chocolate layers all mixed together when spreading. Otherwise, these are rich and delicious! A great addition to your holiday cookie tray!
