How to frost these Andes mint brownies
While your brownies are still warm from the oven, top them with rows of (unwrapped) Andes mints. The mints will start to melt from the warmth of the freshly baked brownies. Give them a few mints to melt on top of the brownies. With a knife, spread the melted Andes mints all over the top of the brownies to make a thin frosting layer. Now let the Andes Mints harden and cool. If you need to speed up the cooling process to be able cut through the brownies, you can place the pan of brownies into the freezer for a few minutes to firm up the mint topping. That’s it! The mints will harden back up again and make the most delicious mint topping. How easy is that?! Easiest Mint brownies ever! Are you a mint chocolate fan? Have you ever tried this method?
