The most delicious thick, fudgy Mint Brownies you’ll ever have topped with a decadent mouth watering chocolate ganache!

Chocolate Mint Brownies with Box Mix

I am still laughing over something our son said to my husband the other day! He said, “Dad, on this episode of Mom exposed, I caught Mom listening to Country music.” When we are in the car together as a family we listen to Christian music. But when I am by myself in the car, sometimes I rock it out and turn it up! I had forgotten to change the station before I turned the car off and was busted.

We had fun with it and I cranked it up! I am pretty sure my son was in a state of shock.

Please tell me I am not the only one that tries to be a good influence in front of their kids, but reverts back to their pre-parenting days and lets their hair down when no one is around?!

Speaking of getting busted, I am pretty sure you’ll get busted eating this entire pan of Mint Brownies after the first bite! The Oreo pieces in the brownie batter combined with the perfect amount of creamy, minty filling and topping with a decadent chocolate ganache will leave you feeling like you’ve have a bite of heaven!

If you like brownies as much as I do, then make sure you make Buckeye Brownies with Brownie Mix, Pecan Pie Brownies, and Easy S’mores Brownie Bars! Unless you are counting calories, then make this Healthy Chocolate Mug Brownie or these Easy Zucchini Brownies!

What You’ll Need for the Brownies:

• 1 box Brownie Mix + Ingredients on the Box
• 6 Oreo’s, Finely Chopped

The Frosting:

How to Make Mint Brownies
