With St. Patty’s Day is just around the corner I thought I’d share one of my all time favorite desserts. TO DIE FOR thin mint brownies. These are a chocolate lovers favorite!
Seriously you gotta try these mint brownies. They’re perfect for a get together because you DO NOT want the whole pan sitting around. Trust me! These have girl scout thin mints (or mint OREOS) in the batter, a layer of mint frosting and topped with a chocolate ganache and andes mints! These are also the perfect treat to make for Chrsitmas. You could even do a red food coloring for the frosting and add crushed candy canes on top.
Don’t you just want to take a bite?! ;)
Thin mint girl scout cookies mixed in these mint brownies were the PERFECT addition! We also like to use thin mint OREOS! These little hands just couldn’t resist … and I can never resist the batter ;)

What program do you use for posting your recipes? They’re so fun!
oh my deliciousness! I love mint AND brownies!!!
me too! such a great combo!! :)
Ok, so I’ve read this recipe like 10 times. Where does the evaporated milk come in? I’m assuming in the peppermint icing, but just wanted to check. It sounds delicious!
Hey Meredith! Yup goes in the mint frosting, sorry about that. Just edited it. You’ll have to let me know how you like them. :)
How much evaporated milk? It’s not on the ingredients list.
Thanks
Hi Sara! That is a mistake in the recipe, it is just 2 Tablespoons of milk or cream. Sorry about that! :)
These look amazing! I love thin mints.
I am making this recipe right now and so far, so good. I had to substitute Mint Oreos for Thin Mints so I hope it still turns out great. Just a couple little things I noticed about the recipe: the ingredients list includes evaporated milk, but the directions do not. I used it in the mint layer. Also, the brownies are not ready in I hour 5 minutes since they have to sit for 2 hours between the different layers. The recipe seems great overall and I’m looking forward to trying them! Thanks!
Made these for the fam this weekend and they were DEVOURED. Everyone loved them. Thanks for the recipe!
Oh my gosh do these look amazing. Perfect for St. Patty’s Day. I hope you will add them to my St. Patty’s Day Project Parade.

firstly, OMG they look good, secondly the chubby little hand is just the cutest!
They are soo good! And those chubby little fingers are fun to nibble on as well. {winks}
I hope I’m not missing something obvious, but I don’t see a recipe anywhere, only pictures that tease and taunt me. PLEASE give me this recipe. I MUST have it!!!!! Thanks!
Is it me or is the recipe gone?! I’ve looked and don’t see it ANYWHERE on this post…. Am I just having a blonde moment or what?
I love brownies a lot , they are irresistible. All your recipes are totally superb. Keep updating your blog with such awesome stuff, I am a frequent visitor.
Where is the recipe at? I can’t see it anywhere and i would love to try these!
I thought I was going crazy until I saw the few other comments – where is the recipe??? Chocolate and mint are my all time favorite treat. Ever.
What can I use in place of thin mint cookies? Ours are long gone!
Thanks, Jackie
Excuse my ignorance, what’s TB?
These look amazing!! Next time I’m having a girls night (or feeling extra fat? lol) I will have to make these….omg…
Nice
Love this, cant wait to taste it.. Thanks
These received so many compliments. I made enough for a 9×13 and had some left over. I froze them individually so I could have a little treat whenever I wanted without feeling like I had to eat the whole pan before they went bad. I must say, they are sooooo much better when you warm them up and the toppings are all melty!!!! Oh, My, Gosh! Next time I make them, I will just cut them right away and freeze. :D

Yummy!!!!!!!!
I pinned these last week, thought about them for a full week, saved my calories for a full week, and finally made them today. LOVE! Thanks for a great recipe.
I’m glad you tried these Chelsey…they seriously are so yummy! I need to make them again soon!
Wonderful! We have a Girl Scout cookout this afternoon and a some Thin Mints left from cookie season. This recipe is perfect!
I love these brownies! I hope you enjoy them too Amy! :)
How many does one batch make??
9 decent size brownies! You could make them smaller if you would like! :)
I am very confused about this recipe. The ingredients do not match the directions. The ingredients for the mint frosting call for one stick of butter but the directions call for 4 tablespoons. Ingredients call for 2 tablespoons milk but the directions refer to evaporated milk. ingredients for the chocolate topping do not mention butter but the directions say combine butter. They sound great but not sure how to make them.
Hi Virginia! Sorry for the confusion! It’s 1/4 cup butter for the mint layer and 1/4 cup butter for the chocolate layer. :)
Sorry, this looks great and i’ll make it in a few… sorry NY eye just caught the typo in the instructions and didn’t know if you knew. (*think – *thin oreos).
Thanks for the recipe!!!
:-)
Thanks for letting me know, just changed it. :) Hope you enjoy these!
