How to Make the Best Mint Brownies from a Box Mix

Preheat oven according to directions on the box for 9 x 9 pan. Spray pan with non-stick spray.

Make brownie mix according to box directions and spread evenly in prepared pan. Bake for recommended time.

Cool brownies for 1 1/2 hours.

Beat together 2 tbsp softened butter and 3 oz softened cream cheese. Add in 2 tbsp whipping cream.

Slowly add in 3 cups powdered sugar and beat until fluffy.

Add in 1/4 tsp mint extract.

Mix in green food coloring until desired shade of green is reached. Spread evenly over cooled brownies.

Heat 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream, 1 1/3 cups chocolate chips, and 1/3 cup butter in the microwave for 30 seconds. Whisk until well combined and smooth.

Let sit until almost cooled. Pour on top of green layer and spread evenly.

Refrigerate until firm.

What kind of brownie box mix works best?

A fudgy brownie mix works best for mint brownies. It gives you soft centers and chewy edges that pair perfectly with the cool mint flavor. Cakey mixes will work too, but the texture will be lighter.

How do I Store brownies?

Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Chilling them can actually make the mint flavor even better.
