Chocolate mint brownies combine the two best dessert flavors into one fudgy bar. Once you try these, you will never go back to boxed brownies again.

Chocolate and mint are two quentessential flavors that are just made for each. After I made chocolate peppermint cake mix cookies, I was totally craving some more chocolate desserts with mint flavor. These chocolate mint brownies are the perfect fudgy brownie with just the right touch of mint.

Homemade brownies are so easy and really taste 1000 times better than a boxed mix too. These use olive oil in place of traditional vegetable oil for a unique flavor.

I usually use a combination of dark chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate for these and then add in mint chocolate chips and peppermint patties. Sometimes, I trade the dark chocolate for a dark chocolate mint bar.

When making these, you will put half of the brownie batter into the baking dish.

Then, top it with chopped peppermint patties

Then, top those with the remaining brownie batter.

Once these are done, let them cool before cutting (I know the wait will be brutal) and then cut them into squares.

These mint brownies are so incredibly fudgy and have the best combination rich chocolate flavor and fresh mint. They are so perfect for the holidays, bake sales or just when you are craving a brownie.
