You can turn plain brownies into minted brownies really easily.

Earlier this spring, Heather Albrecht shared her super simple brownie recipe with me. I posted the recipe on my blog on May 31. Yesterday she suggested a great way to “mint” the brownies. (And it adds another hit of chocolate!)

Heather said her mom puts half the brownie batter in the pan, covers it with a single layer of After Eight mints, then adds the remaining batter. The brownies are baked as usual.

The result?

“Mmmmmmmmm!” says Heather.

Decadent, minted fudgey brownies! What’s not to like? I may have to make this brownie variation this weekend.

Thanks, Heather!
