Mint Brownies (or Grasshopper Brownies)
These classic Mint Brownies have a deliciously fudgy base, a creamy mint frosting, and a smooth layer of semi-sweet chocolate. They’re always a favorite.
These mint brownies are also a festive touch for St Patrick’s Day or even Christmas if you add some red and green sprinkles!
