Rich fudgy brownies topped with a soft chocolate mint layer. Topped with melted milk chocolate!
It’s been quite some time since I shared a brownie recipe on the blog. December was the last time. Nearly 3 months. Then, last week my blog friend Jocelyn shared some Thin Mint Fudge Brownies on her blog and I couldn’t get them out of my head. Seriously.
Earlier this week I made some Chocolate Mint Pretzel bites using the Duncan Hines frosting creations packet. I bought a few extra packets, just in case! I knew when making this brownie I would change a few things from Jocelyn’s recipe. I used my homemade brownie recipe as the base. I have nothing against brownie mixes, I just don’t usually have them on hand. It could totally work though for this recipe if you prefer. I also knew I wanted a soft chocolate mint layer. So instead of making a fudge layer, I made a chocolate mint ganache that you can sink your teeth into. Literally. Of course, to complete this recipe, it needed a final layer of milk chocolate. Agreed?
These are some seriously rich, seriously delicious brownies! Just be careful, it makes a whole 13×9 pan and once you start nibbling it’s so hard to stop! Consider yourself warned!
Here are a few other brownie recipes that I love:
Milky Way Double Fudge Brownies: Just look how dark and moist these brownies are! You can substitute your favorite candy in this recipe (Snicker’s work great, just sayin).
Butterscotch Kit Kat Brownies: Soft brownie bottom with crispy Kit Kats topped with a layer of melted butterscotch!

Mint is in the air! Love it! These brownies look so scrumptious and I love how they have thick layers, you can really get a taste and bite of each flavor!

What a sweet St. Patty’s-Day treat! I’m totally with you on going for the soft mint layer. That’s my favorite part. OK, and the homemade brownie is pretty fab too. Good thing I don’t have to choose
Erin | The Law Student’s Wife recently posted..Shrimp and Artichoke Frittata
Yep, that mint layer is extraordinary! Now I’ll be thinking about it! Thanks Aimee!
I can’t imagine a better feeling than my teeth sinking into this ganache (as my dentist probably shudders at the thought lol). Gorgeous brownies Aimee – keep ‘em coming! Three months is FAR too long to wait for brownies like these

Yay! I am so glad my brownies inspired you to bake these yummy looking brownies. Love the ganache mint topping with the chocolate glaze! I do have to say though, my fudge layer on mine was actually quite soft…something about being on the brownies didn’t let it set up quite as hard as normal…which was actually a really good thing
Now I think I need brownies…better make them today before my new diet starts on Saturday!!!

These look so sweet and fudgy and I love that minty layer-they’d be great for St. Patrick’s Day too!
Kayle (The Cooking Actress) recently posted..“The” Meatballs
I love that you used sweetened condensed milk for the minty ganache layer. I was just wondering the other day if ganache with sweetened condensed milk was a thing
Regina @ SpecialtyCakeCreations recently posted..Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Banana Bites
LOL. I don’t know if it’s “correct” to call it ganache. But I couldn’t think of what else to describe the soft layer of mint
aimee @ shugarysweets recently posted..Chocolate Mint Brownies
I always agree to a final layer of chocolate
These look prefect and I’m in love with the colors!

These brownies sound amazing Aimee! I love mint and that creamy smooth layer of chocolate on the top is making me really hungry!

What a great use of the Duncan Hine’s frosting creation. I’m going to have to give those things a try. St. Patrick’s Day is all about something minty and chocolatey for me, and this fits the bill perfectly!

Oh my gosh, I absolutely LOVE brownies and these look delicious! The mint looks a beautiful colour…I just want to bite your picture….lol. Of course it would be hard knowing whether to make these or the kitkat or double fudge that you also have featured….hm…maybe will have to make them all!

Mint and Chocolate. There is nothing better, except to combine them!
Lisa recently posted..Easy Beer & BBQ Chicken
This recipe looks delicious! Can’t wait to make them.
Oh yum, your brownies look so good!
I made these last night to bring into work today. My co-worker just cut into them and came rushing to my desk to make me take a bite. OMG–rich and delicious with just the right amount of mint flavor. I usually steer clear of recipes calling for sweetened condensed milk (I’m not sure why) but this recipe will change that!
These mint brownies sound delicious! I definitely will try them!!!!
Thanks Shirley! ENJOY!
