I have a confession. I think I have a slight obsession with girl scout cookies. Whatever the type, Samoas, Lemonades, Tagalogs, you name it. But Thin Mints, those are my favorite. And who would've thought, Thin Mint brownies. Smooth chocolaty brownie with a minty icing on top. Perfect for parties, school lunches, whatever. These were gone at our house in 2 days. Ever since we bought mint at the grocery, I've had mint on the brain. Oh, the possibilities are endless!
Recipe
Make brownie layer and add 1/2 tsp peppermint extract, more or less per taste. Bake for about 15-20 minutes (less for very fudgy brownies, and more for less fudge-like brownies)
Let cool for 20 minutes.
Peppermint Icing:
1/2 bag chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life)
2 Tbs shortening
1/3 tsp peppermint extract (plus more per your taste)
- Add chocolate chips and shorting to medium sauce pan on medium low heat. Mix
continually until melted. Remove from heat and mix in peppermint extract.
Once the brownies are made, add the peppermint icing on top and smooth with an angled spatula. Cut into squares and enjoy! Store in a cool, dry place. Lasts for about 3 days, but is best eaten the same day.
