Celebrate St Patrick’s Day with these spectacular, boozy Creme de Menthe-Chocolate Chip Frosted Brownies. The brownies are fudgy and rich, my favorite recipe for brownies ever. Three tablespoons of creme de menthe in the frosting turns it a fabulous minty green color. Throw in some chocolate chips and it looks like mint chocolate chip ice cream.
Confession time- The only reason I made these brownies with
crème de menthe was because I’ve had a big bottle of creme de menthe taking up
precious space in my pantry since I made a grasshopper
pie ages ago.
Warning- If you buy a big bottle of creme de menthe for a
recipe, you will most likely have a difficult time finding ways to use the rest
of it. I’m open to suggestions because the 3 tablespoons I used in this recipe
hardly made a dent in it. Cocktail suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
