Andes chocolate mint brownies ♥



I love decorating for Valentines Day! ♥  

All the pink and red hearts look so pretty against the January snow.  The colors instantly brighten my days (which lately have been cold and dreary...)

I made this little set up on my coffee table today.  What do you think?  I'm smiling, how about you? 

And speaking of Valentine's Day, we are only a few weeks away!  I was trying to think of some special treats to bake and I remembered these brownies I made for Christmas .  

Chocolate + mint = perfection! ♥ 

All you need is a brownie mix and a package of Andes chocolates.  




Bake your brownies as you normally would.  

*side note, my friend Billie Jo taught me to always add an extra egg to brownie mix to make them more cake-like.  I always do this and they come out great every time! Less gooey and more delicious! 
Just sayin...* 


While they are baking, unwrap the chocolates because you will need them as soon as the brownies are done.  




(I ate a few along the way...who wouldn't, right? : ) 




When done, remove the brownies from the oven and immediately cover them with the chocolates (in a single layer).  Within a few seconds the chocolate will begin to melt.  





With a spatula, smear the melted minty chocolate over the brownies Willy Wonka style,  so it's nice and smooth ♥ 




Set aside to cool completely.  I put mine in the fridge so it would set faster ♥

Once completely cooled and the chocolate is hardened, use a serrated knife to cut the brownies.  








What you are left with is a delicious chocolate brownie with a thick layer of chocolate mint on top! 




Definitely Valentines day appropriate! ♥♥




Make them for your loved ones and Enjoy! 




Have a great day friends! We are half way to Friday!  I hope these brownies last till then.  
( probably not : ) 

xoxo
