If you’ve never had the opportunity to try a soft, gooey, chocolate mint brownie, you haven’t LIVED! When I lived in Utah, I always made it a point to buy one of these if I was ever on BYU campus. They were my favorite treat and it’s really hard to just eat one. Well, I don’t live in Utah anymore, so I have had to recreate these luscious bars at home. The good news….I still get to enjoy one of my favorite treats. The bad news…when you make chocolate mint brownies at home, there’s a whole lot more to enjoy!

If you are in a rush, you can use store-bought brownies or make some from a mix. These will still taste amazing with just the frosting.
