Update on the chocolate-mint bars

Success!

I made Cooking Light's (CL) chocolate-mint bars that were on the cover of the March issue. http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=1714574

Except I cheated since I'm trying to use up my pantry before the move. Used a box brownie mix rather than making from scratch. And used creme de menth instead of milk and peppermint extract for the mint layer. Turned out great!

Re: Update on the chocolate-mint bars

  • Oh, I made those too a few weeks ago. YUM!!  I didn't use brownie mix (just followed the recipe) and loved them. 
  • Yum! This might be what I'll bring on Easter :)

  • The creme de menthe is actually kinda mild. Taste the mixture and see if you want to add drops of peppermint extract.

    And with the mint layer, I had a hard time spreading it. I actually pressed it out with my hands since they warmed it just enough.

  • Thanks for the tip. I look forward to trying it out. And I have all the ingredients in my pantry and fridge :)

  • mmm I love brownies!  I ripped that recipe out of that issue of CL but haven't tried it yet!  I love the idea of using creme de menthe :)
