Mint frosted brownies with bitter chocolate drizzle

March 20, 2011 by Maureen 4 Comments

My mother used to make this as a cake but I thought I’d give it a go as a bite sized brownie.  Your favorite brownie recipe will work fine with this.  The additions are all on top.   There are two ways to complete the brownies.  You can melt a square of bitter chocolate in a ziplock bag and cut the tip off and drizzle or you can melt enough chocolate to cover the icing with a very thin layer.  Don’t be afraid of the bitter chocolate – the icing and peppermint mix in your mouth for a perfect taste.
