For a prettier bar for Christmas I drizzled and swirled about half of the chocolate topping from a fork over the top, and then sprinkled mini chocolate chips over that. My family was very impressed with the look and devoured them immediately, saying they tasted just like an Andes mint in brownie form (even better)!!

I brought this brownie recipe to Thanksgiving where people really liked it even if it wasn't as pretty as the brownies in the picture with the recipe. I used a 8x8 pan because I couldn't find my 9x9 pan and the brownies were plenty thick and moist. I had problems with the glaze...for me it turned out more as a mushy, grainy chocolate ball consistency then a glaze. I think I heated the chocolate too long. 3/4 teaspoon mint extract seems like a lot as it produced a VERY strong mint flavor in the filling that I thought would be overpowering but when eaten with the chocolate brownie, it balanced nicely. But, if you don't like a very distinct mint flavor and would like it to be more subtle, you might want to try cutting back the extract to 1/2 tsp.

I made these the other day my family loved them.They say it tasted like a York Peppermint Patty.I changed the recipe a little bit.I used a box brownie mix.I also made the filling with 2 Cups confectioners sugar,6 tsp butter added 2 1/2 tsp peppermint extract.I chilled the filling 30 minutes.Even with chilling it was hard to spread the melted chocolate chips on top. Next time when I make these I will just melt the chocolate chips and not add the butter. *HINT* Use a hot knife(dip it in hot water to heat)to cut the brownies on all sides.This way it makes it turn out like the picture thats posted.

I used just boxed brownie mix (always strapped for time), but the topping is wonderful! Highly recommend that you cool the mint in the fridge before you put on the chocolate layer!

I made a double batch of these brownies and brought them to a party. All I had to bring home was an empty plate! I thought they were a tad too minty, but these brownies are rich and decadent, so maybe folks don't mind a strong mint flavor. I'd scale back the creme de menthe (or peppermint extract, as in the recipe). Otherwise, cut them into almost bite-sized pieces so you don't overwhelm brownie traditionalists.

I'm not sure how to rate these, so I ended up on four stars. Because the brownies were really good, but the mint filling was way too strong, I had to throw the cake out. But I don't live in the US, maybe the peppermint extract we have here is much stronger than the one you have in the US. I also had to use much more than 3 drops of food coloring, so next time I'll just try 3 drops of peppermint and 1/2 teaspoon of food coloring.

Very tasty mint brownies! These were a big hit for Christmastime. My only comment is that the layer of mint icing separated from the brownie when chilled. Next time, I'll frost them when the brownies are still a little warm to see if this corrects this. But overall, I loved them!

My 13 year old never compliments my cooking no matter how much he likes it. He said these were good and he wants them instead of a birthday cake. :) I agree that they're great. Next time, I'm going to try doubling the recipe and using a 13 x 9 inch pan so that the brownies will be a little thicker.
