You can use your favorite brownie recipe if you prefer. This is one of those "hurry up, I need to take a dessert" recipes for me! It is always well received. I use Pillsbury Traditional Fudge Brownie mix. To cut brownies smoothly, use a putty knife or a plastic knife.

Steps:

- Combine butter and mints in a 2 cup glass container; microwave at high 30 seconds or until soft.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your brownies will taste. Use real butter, unsweetened chocolate, and fresh eggs for the best results.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the brownies in a preheated oven: This will help them to rise evenly and prevent them from sinking in the middle.
- Don't overbake the brownies: Overbaking the brownies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to set and prevent them from falling apart.
