I’ll be honest. I used to think brownies were perfect just the way they were. Why mess with something that already delivers that deep, fudgy, chocolatey goodness? But then I tried Mint Brownies, and, well… turns out I had no idea what I was missing.

I first made these by accident—one of those “let’s throw in whatever I have in the pantry and hope for the best” moments. A layer of Mint Oreos on the bottom, brownie batter poured on top, and a handful of Andes Mints melted over everything. It sounded good, but I wasn’t prepared for how next-level incredible they’d be.

I cut into the first square, took a bite, and immediately regretted not making a second pan. The crunchy Oreos, the rich brownie, the melty Andes topping—it was everything. And when I brought them to a family get-together? Gone in ten minutes. I barely had time to grab a second piece before my cousin stuffed the last one in his mouth.

Moral of the story? Make these. Hide a few for yourself. Thank me later.

Ingredient Notes:

This recipe is all about simple ingredients creating pure magic.

  • Brownie Mix – The base of this masterpiece. Use your favorite store-bought mix (go for the fudgy version) or make homemade if you’re feeling fancy.
  • Mint Oreos – These add crunch, texture, and extra mint flavor to both the base and topping.

Pro Tip: Want an extra intense chocolate flavor? Swap the water in your brownie mix for coffee—it makes the chocolate taste even richer!

How To Make Mint Brownies?

These brownies come together ridiculously fast. Like, you could be eating them in under an hour fast.

Step 1. Prep Your Baking Pan

First things first—grease a 9-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray. If you want easy slicing later, line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang.

Step 2. Layer the Mint Oreos

Take a full pack of Mint Oreos and line them across the bottom of the pan. No need to crush them—just lay them flat. Trust me, they’ll bake into the brownie and create an insanely good crunchy layer.

Step 3. Make the Brownie Batter

Follow the instructions on your brownie mix (or use your favorite homemade recipe). Once the batter is ready, pour it over the Oreos, making sure they’re fully covered.

Step 4. Bake Until Just Right

Pop the pan in the oven and bake according to the package instructions—usually about 30 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 5. The Andes Mint Magic

As soon as the brownies come out of the oven, immediately place the Andes Mints on top. Let them sit for about 2 minutes, then grab a knife and spread the melted chocolate evenly over the surface.

Step 6. Sprinkle More Mint Oreos on Top

Before the melted Andes layer sets, sprinkle those chopped Mint Oreos on top. It adds extra crunch and a pop of color.

Step 7. Let Them Cool Before Slicing

I know waiting is hard, but trust me—let them cool for at least an hour. The longer they set, the cleaner the slices will be.

Storage Options:

If you somehow manage not to eat the entire batch (seriously, teach me your ways), here’s how to store them:

  • Room Temperature: Keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Fridge: Lasts up to a week, but they’ll firm up a little.
  • Freezer: Wrap individually and freeze for up to 2 months. Just thaw at room temp when ready to eat.

Want them warm again? Microwave for 10 seconds for that fresh-out-of-the-oven feel!

Variations and Substitutions:

Want to mix things up? Try these fun twists:

  • Extra Minty – Stir ½ teaspoon of peppermint extract into the brownie batter.
  • Double Chocolate – Add chocolate chips to the batter for even more richness.
  • Frosted Mint Brownies – Instead of Andes Mints, top with mint buttercream frosting.
  • Gluten-Free Version – Use gluten-free brownie mix and gluten-free Oreos.

What to Serve with Mint Brownies?

As if these brownies aren’t already perfect, here’s how to take them to the next level:

  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream – Because warm brownie + cold ice cream is unbeatable.
  • A drizzle of caramel sauce – Adds a buttery contrast to the rich chocolate.
  • Whipped cream & crushed pretzels – Sweet, creamy, and salty all in one bite.
  • A hot cup of coffee – The bitterness of coffee balances out the sweetness perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use regular Oreos instead of Mint Oreos?
Sure! But if you still want that minty flavor, add a few drops of peppermint extract to the brownie batter.

Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! In fact, they taste even better the next day after the flavors settle.

How do I get clean slices?
Use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts. For extra neat slices, chill the brownies for 15 minutes before cutting.

Notes

To make these Ultimate Mint Brownies gluten-free, opt for a gluten-free brownie mix or use almond/coconut flour as a base. Swap in gluten-free "Oreo"-style cookies, and ensure your mint chocolates don't contain hidden gluten. Simple tweaks let you enjoy the minty, chocolaty goodness without the gluten!
