The perfect holiday combination, chocolate, and mint. These brownies are rich but super delicious. Imagine a moist brownie, covered with a sugary, mint frosting, and topped off with a chocolate glaze. My grandma makes these yummy brownies for many of our family events and they always disappear. I made these for salad bar this month and there was even some leftover for those in second lunch who don’t participate. These are easy to make, but they do involve some time due to the cooling process before assembling all the layers. But in all honesty, they will be worth the extra bit of wait time!
