12 Servings
Ingredients
- 18.4 ounces box of brownie mix plus the additional ingredients required to prepare them as indicated on the box OR choose homemade brownies
- 1 pack 15.25 ounces of Mint Oreos (to be divided)
- 2 packs 4.67 ounces each of Andes Mints, which is about 56 unwrapped mints
Instructions
- Start by greasing a 9-inch baking pan with butter.
- Next, arrange a layer of Mint Oreos evenly on the bottom of the pan. If you have any remaining Oreos chop them up. Set them aside for later use.
- Follow the instructions, on the brownie mix package to prepare the batter. If you prefer make it from scratch. Pour the batter over the Oreos in the pan.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into the brownies comes out with a few crumbs clinging to it.
- Baked, place Andes Mints, on top of the brownies. Return them to the oven for about 2 minutes to allow them to slightly melt. Take a knife. Spread them evenly across the surface.
- To add some flavor and texture sprinkle chopped Mint Oreos over the melted mints.
- Allow the brownies to cool for an hour before slicing and serving. Enjoy this treat!
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!
