I've made these several times in the past year & they're always the first thing to go on a dessert tray. Everyone LOVES them! I usually just use a boxed brownie mix.

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.

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.

Thank you so much for this recipe! I've been searching for it for lo, these many years. At age 12 (and I'm now an old lady of 61!), the mother of a fellow Girl Scout, Carole Mellinger, brought these brownies to our Christmas party. I have never forgotten their taste. Again, thanks!! RoseMary

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!

These were perfectly delicious. The brownie was wonderfully chewy, the mint was not too minty and the chocolate added the perfect touch. They certainly didn't come out as pretty as the picture, but still looked great and were pretty simple to make. A big hit with my family.

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)!!
