Leave Santa A Plate Of Chocolate Mint Brownies For Extra Presents :)

I can barely help myself when I see desserts like these chocolate mint brownies sitting on the dessert table. The green mint in the middle is enough to make my mouth water. I will certainly be making these fudgy mint brownies for Christmas this year. I know my friends and family will LOVE them.

Take a peek at what our pals over at Betty Crocker had to say about this amazing minty brownie dessert recipe:

Indulge in a classic bar with three delicious layers – fudgy brownies, minty filling and chocolate glaze.

When the weather is cold, and Christmas is nearing, I make these brownies up and place them in decorative tins to give away as gifts. My family and friends love them. It’s very hard not to keep a few for myself, though!
