Dark Chocolate Mint Brownies

Dark Chocolate Mint Brownies are that perfect bite of dark fudgy chocolate with a burst of mint! The secret is using dark chocolate cocoa powder, a blend of dark chocolate and mint chips, and serve them cold.  I shared this batch with my sisters and nieces. It’s a girl thing. My husband does not know that I have some stashed in a tupperware container in the back of the fridge.

Amazon carries Nestle’s Toll House Dark Chocolate & Mint Morsels if you can’t find them in your local grocery. When you find them, buy a few bags and keep them in the freezer for future brownies. I am not getting any compensation from Nestle’s for the endorsement! I just love these chips.

7. Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the brownies cool.
8. Lift the cooled brownies by the parchment handles and move to a cutting board. Use a serrated knife to cut in squares. The brownies are excellent kept cold in the refrigerator.
