Plus, it’s getting close to St. Patrick’s Day and I’m sure I will need to make a green treat at some point in the near future!

The Best Mint Brownies

I dug up a recipe I posted years ago on my other blog because it’s too good not to share. These Mint Brownies are killer. The brownie recipe itself is amazing but once you add the two types of layered frosting… heavens they’re good! You can cheat and use boxed brownie mix (just don’t tell me about it) and a tub o’ chocolate frosting from the store, but you must, must, must make the mint frosting exactly as stated. It is amazing.
