I don’t know about you, but chocolate and mint have always always been a favorite flavor combination of mine! The refreshingly cool mint pairs so deliciously well with the rich and smooth chocolate and makes an outstanding flavor profile for these brownies. They’re ultra-moist, super fudgy and filled with mint chocolate chunks that are perfectly melty and gooey. Pure bliss in every bite!!
They’re also a breeze to make! As easy as making brownies from the box. It’s as simple as mixing the ingredients together and popping it in the oven! For such easy work, you’ll be pleased with the luxurious results!
