St Patrick’s Day Dessert Idea- Ultimate Mint Oreo Brownies

Who can resist those mint Oreos on the shelves this time of year, especially when the end result is these Ultimate Mint Oreo Brownies? I know that lent is upon us but I am sure you can indulge a little on St. Patrick’s Day, especially if you are Irish.

These brownies were so thick and rich, my kids could not eat a whole one. To be honest, I usually use a Box brownie mix when I create variations of brownie desserts, but I saw this recipe and could not resist trying it from scratch.

There are no surprise ingredients, just unsweetened chocolate, so just be sure you have a box of that around.
