Irish Mint Brownies image

I wanted something special to take to a church potluck, so I invented these layered treats. They are great for St. Patrick's Day as well. The brownies are topped with a mint-flavored mousse and bittersweet chocolate icing. -Lori Risdal, Sioux City, Iowa

I'm not usually a fan of mint chocolate, but these brownies were surprisingly good. The mint flavor was subtle and didn't overpower the chocolate.
