Thick and fudgy easy mint brownies are filled with creamy mints. They are decadent and only require a few ingredients!
I just cannot get enough chocolate and mint, and these sure hit the spot. For more mint & chocolate recipes, try Mint Trifle, Mint Hot Cocoa, or Andes Mint Cookies.
Chocolate & Mint
Melissa from Bless this Mess has an over the top delish recipe for mint brownies. They are SO easy you might consider them a “cheater recipe”.
Homemade is always better, but sometimes life just needs simplifying. This is the perfect recipe to make in a pinch because it not only tastes amazing, but it comes together in a snap!
Chocolate and mint are a classic and crazy delish combination. I try to keep these simple ingredients so I am always available to whip up some brownies in a pinch! Most of these ingredients you can find at the dollar store, bonus!!!
Tips, Variations + Storing Info
To make fudgy brownies instead of cakey brownies don’t overbeat the batter or overbake it. Make it a little bit under even because then its fudgy, soft, and falling apart.
To get more mint flavor:
- Crush or chop up additional thin mints and mix in the brownie batter to further distribute the mint flavor
- Top the batter with chopped thin melts and have them melt on top of the brownies for super minty bits
- For super minty flavor add peppermint extract
- Mix in mint chips
Variations:
- Drizzle hot fudge sauce on top
- Top with whipped cream
- Spread mint frosting on top
Storing + Freezing
STORE brownies in an airtight bag/container at room temperature for up to a week to avoid them from hardening.
Wrap individual brownies in a layer of plastic wrap and a layer of foil FREEZE in a freezer safe bag for up to 3 months. You can also wrap an entire pan of brownies the same way.

- Oreo chocolate mint candy cups
