The Menu:
Grandpa's Mint Brownies
The Original Recipe:
I saw these on Triedandtruecookingwithheidi.blog and I knew I HAD to make them! Chocolate and Mint - what could be better than that combination? Afterall, one of my favorite all time, can't get enough of, candies are Jr. Mints. I could eat them daily (should I admit that I have?) These are super good, and if you don't have the time to make the brownies from scratch, you could easily use a box mix and just add the toppings. Ok, I need to go have a peice for breakfast now...
