CHOCOLATE MINT BROWNIES
One of the best things about this recipe is that these mint chocolate brownies get moister if you leave them in the refrigerator for a day or two. The problem at our house is that no one can leave them alone for that long! -Helen Baines, Elkton, Maryland

LAYERED CHOCOLATE MINT BROWNIES (CREME DE MINTH BARS)
These decadent rich minty brownies taste like creme de minth but are actually made with mint extract. They are fantastic and pretty darn easy. But a word of advice, don't make these unless you have somewhere to bring them because they are dangerous! If mint isn't your thing, you could easily vary the flavor of extract and the food coloring. Prep time does not include cooling time.

- Bake the brownies in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the brownies bake evenly.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
