So St. Patrick's Day recipes were a hit, though apparently all the alcohol from the Bailey's Irish Cream did not bake out of the bread pudding...Still good though :)
I've had several requests for the recipe - which I got from recipezaar.com - I love this site especially when I'm looking for a new recipe to try. You can search for all kinds of recipes, and sort by rating which should give you a bit more confidence when trying a new recipe :)
Ingredients
Mint Filling
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup butter
- 4 ounces baking chocolate
- 1 cup flour
Chocolate topping
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract
- green food coloring
- 3-4 tablespoons cream
- 8 tablespoons butter
- 1 (12 ounce) package chocolate chips
DirectionsThis version differs slightly from the version on recipezaar found here. I used Baker's German Chocolate for the brownie mix, and unsalted butter. I also think that hand mixing the brownies after step 3 might have prevented the light 'crust' that formed while baking. Will have to try this one again to see if I'm right. Didn't affect the taste at all - just made it harder to apply the mint filling.
To serve - either chill it first, then cut into squares, or serve it a few minutes after applying the warm chocolate topping.
- Preheat oven at 375°F.
- Beat eggs until fluffy.
- Add sugar and vanilla; beat well.
- Melt the butter and chocolate and add to the mixture (mixing well).
- Add flour and stir until smooth.
- Butter a 13x9 pan then pour in mixture.
- Bake for 25 min or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow brownies to cool before adding the mint filling.
- Mint Filling: Mix 4 tablespoons butter, confectioners' sugar, mint, and cream.
- Add green food coloring.
- Frost brownies and refrigerate for an hour.
- Make the chocolate topping by melting butter and chocolate chips in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Pour chocolate topping over mint filling.
Anyway - enjoy!

Jake would love these! I just might have to get peppermint extract the next time I'm out shopping! :)
Thanks for posting this so quickly Christine! :) It's a keeper for sure. And I thought the other treats you made were good too by the way. I just noticed somebody had submitted mint brownies last week on our blog but it was with a box mix. No comparison to homemade .
Oh my goodness Rachel. I'm not a big chocolate or mint fan and these were delicious !!!! I'm sure the guys and gals at the shop would bow down at your feet if you shared them :)
