Chocolate Chip Mint Brownies is an easy dessert recipe for your Saint Patrick's Day celebration! Top warm homemade brownies with Andes mint candy, let them melt, then smooth out for an easy one ingredient mint frosting!
Mint Brownies Recipe
Everyone will want to be Irish on Saint Patrick's Day when Chocolate Chip Mint Brownies are for dessert!
And you'll be happy to make these homemade brownies when the "frosting" is just one ingredient, Andes mint candies!
Mint candies melt over warm brownies to form a creamy topping. Sprinkle with shamrock sprinkles and you're all set to celebrate your Irish with Andes mints brownies!
Having a party to celebrate all that's Irish? You can serve our Chocolate Chip Mint Brownies as full size brownies or cut them into bite size mint brownie bites to feed a crowd!
Maybe you'll want to serve two desserts and you can make our No-Bake Bailey's Irish Cream Parfaits too!
Now, if you decide to serve both desserts then I suggest making the parfaits in smaller jars so no one has to make decisions and can have both sweet treats!
And if anyone is a Libra like me, decisions can be so difficult! And really, who wants to have to decide between two desserts?

Swirls of Flavor Recipe Tips
- It is easiest to get brownies out of the baking pan when you line the pan with aluminum foil and leave a 2-inch overhang to use for lifting the brownies out of the pan.
- Use a shamrock cookie cutter to cut out brownies and make shamrock brownies
Substitutions
- Not a fan of mint? You can easily substitute chocolate chips for the mint candy and make a chocolate chip frosting for brownies
