These brownies are always a hit. You will be everyone's friend when you make these. Best of all, it takes no time, and it looks like you really care. They are perfect for parties, showers, and I even made them for a wedding reception a couple of months ago.
The hardest part of these brownies is finding the magic ingredient.
No buttery, creamy inner mint layer . Just a bag of these. You don't even have to get a bowl messy melting them. Sprinkle them on top of the hot-from-the-oven brownies, wait 5 minutes, and spread them around with a spatula.

As for the brownies, why go to the trouble of actually mixing something, when at your local grocery store, you can find Betty Crocker mixes for around $1? I use 2 boxes of Betty Crocker brownie mix, follow package instructions, and pour the batter into a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes at 350. Then sprinkle the green mint chips onto the hot brownies and spread.
The green mint layer must cool until hardened before you frost. To make the frosting, I use 1/3 cup of softened butter, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, 1 pound of powdered sugar, a tsp of vanilla, a dash of salt, and 1/3 cup of boiling water. Mix it all together and add more powdered sugar or water as necessary to get a good consistency. Spread it quickly over the brownies, because the frosting sets up fast!
