After baking these fabulous chocolaty wonders, our apartment smells like Christmas: mint and chocolate. I've seen quite a few recipes for Reeses PB cup brownies, Symphony chocolate bar brownies, and I thought to experiment with York Peppermint Patties. The result: ooey gooey fudgey minty brownies. The mint flavor is apparent, but not overpowering.
I think one of the worst/most disappointing thing to eat is a cakey, dry brownie. If I wanted chocolate cake, I would have asked for chocolate cake. If I'm going to eat a brownie, it should have this texture. Heavy, rich, heavenly.
Enjoy!
