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.
