MINT BROWNIES
I received this recipe from a neighbor and it's become one of my favorite desert recipes. They're so delicious I could almost eat the whole pan myself. They're easy to make using boxed brownie mixes, and the recipe makes a lot. They're so moist and flavorful and they stay moist. These brownies never last long when I take them for family gatherings or parties.

MINT CREAM CHEESE SWIRL BROWNIES
This is a variation of the One-Bowl Brownies recipe from the Baker's Unsweetened Chocolate package, which is my go-to brownie recipe, made better by the addition of melted mint chips. If you want to go really minty, you could add a little dash of peppermint extract to the mix, but I think it was pleasantly minty without it.
