Mint Oreo Brownies


I made these for the benefit over the weekend and just had to post it. After selling all day Friday we were running out of desserts to sell, so I was trying to figure out something quick and simple that I could make in bulk, that would also taste super delish. I thought of this when I was getting more ingredients for the S'mores Stuffed Brownies. Personally, I love mint and chocolate together. It's one of the best classic combinations I can think of. Well right next to peanut butter and chocolate at least :) I decided to dress things up a little bit with the mint flavored white chocolated piped over the top. All by itself, you can taste the subtle hint of the mint flavor, but I felt like it needed a little extra umph to finish things off. Also when you are picking out your brownie mix make sure you get a mix that make a 9x13 pans worth. There will be some that are specific for 8x8 or others that will be for 9x13's, get the 9x13. Other then that, this recipe is pretty much fool proof. So easy, and yet so yummy!! Enjoy :)

Ingredients
  • 1 box of your favorite brownie mix
  • 1 package of Cool Mint Oreo's
  • 1 cup White Mint Flavored Candy Wafers

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare brownie mix according to package directions. Crush all 3 sleeves of Oreo's in a large zip lock bag using a rolling pin. You don't want the Oreo's to be in super small pieces. Keep then a little chunkier.


Mix into the prepared brownie mix until frosting is no longer noticeable {use a spoon to get out any pieces of cookie or frosting stuck to the bag}. Spray baking pan generously with cooking spray.


Pour brownie Oreo mixture into baking pan and using a spatula sprayed with cooking spray smooth out batter into pan. Bake for about 35-40 minutes of until toothpick comes mostly clean from center. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

When cooled cut the brownies into 12 squares and remove from pan. Melt wafers in a heatproof bowl by using a double boiler or place in the microwave for about 1 minute. When chocolate is cool enough to handle, pour into a piping bag {or I just use a small zip lock bag}. Cut a small portion of the corner away and pipe over each square individually. You can also pipe the chocolate over the entire 9x13 sheet of brownies, but I just think it looks prettier over each square. Allow chocolate to set then serve.

Anything mint and chocolate gets my vote. Love the fact that it has double mint ingredients cookie filling and wafers. Yum!
