What Exactly Are Chocolate Mint Brownies?
I’m so glad you asked! These brownies rich, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate mint flavor and crackly top is complimented by the cool sweetness of mint chips. The texture is fudgy and soft, with a slight but soft crunch of the mint candies. These brownies are the perfect treat for you and your family and will leave you satisfied and smiling.
How Do You Serve Them?
There are many ways you can serve this delicacy, but I recommend serving them with the classic cool, delicious mint chip ice cream. The warm brownies compliment the cold ice cream, and the simple yet scrumptious contrast of flavors just leads to pure bliss. You can also eat them with a dollop of whipped cream, a glass of milk. But you know, they are amazing all by themselves.
When Can You Serve Them?
Whenever, of course. But it is a fun tradition with my family to eat these delicious brownies and ice cream for dessert on weekend nights, while watching a movie. But they are great anytime, and if you bring them to a picnic or party, you are sure to get some compliments.
How Hard Are They to Make?
Not hard at all, my friend. In fact, they are so foolproof that even my kids know how to make them by heart! With a few simple steps, you pop that pan in the oven and then, boom, brownies. It truly is a simple yet rewarding process. I recommend that you try it out with your friends and family and have fun with it!
