Chocolate Mint Brownies

These add a fresh, minty flavor to the traditional brownie.  And since brownies are easy to make, that makes this a great way to spruce up dessert.

 Yield: 16 servings


Ingredients


  • 1 cup (16 tbsp) butter
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 1/4 cup baking cocoa
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 cups Andes mint chips

  3. Add the flour and mint chips.  Mix well.
