Chocolatey and minty brownies made with a box mix and a chocolate mint herb for the real deal.
This is another wonderful way to jazz up boxed brownies – make chocolate mint brownies. Now I know you think I am talking about adding mint flavoring to the box brownies mix but I am really talking about adding the real deal. I have an herb growing in my backyard and it is a chocolate mint herb. You have probably seen mint at your local garden shop to plant but at my last garden shopping excursion I discovered a little herb labeled chocolate mint. Once I saw it I knew I had to purchase it. It is growing beautifully. I wondered how best to use my chocolate mint plant and thought it would be the perfect addition to brownies and there you have it chocolate mint brownies.
The recipe is simple to prepare and just a few ingredients.

Thank you for the idea of the choc-mint brownies, they will fit right in with our “all girl” night of watching the Bachelorette, you made my day because I don’t enjoy being in the kitchen, my husband does it all, so if I can’t follow this recipe, I’m in big trouble. My mom is a great cook, and loves being in the kitchen. I didn’t get those genes!! Total tomboy. Keep up the great teamwork, I’m too far away from my 80 year old mom. It’s hard, she’s in Florida, I’m in Alaska….We talk every Sunday, and I fly to see her, once a year. I love her so much!! Kerri
