Dark Chocolate Mint Brownies

I was in the mood for a chocolate treat the other day and we just happened to have a box of brownie mix in the cabinet.

I knew I wanted to doctor the mix up a bit so I scrounged around to see what else I could find...

That's when these Dark Chocolate Mint Brownies were born.



To make the brownies you will need:

Brownie mix (or brownie batter from scratch)
Egg(s)/ Water/ Oil the mix calls for
1 cup Andes thin mint pieces
1/2 cup dark chocolate morsels 

Following the directions for the brownie mix; I mixed up the batter.  You can use any of your favorite brownie recipes for this too!

I then added 1 cup of Andes Thin Mint Pieces and 1/2 cup of Dark Chocolate Morsels.


Andes Creme De Menthe Baking Chips, 10 oz

Nestle Toll House, Dark Chocolate Morsels, 10 Oz (283 G)

 I poured the mix into my prepared 13x9 pan and baked according to the package directions.



Once cool, I cut them into bars.


You may not be able to see the dark chocolate morsels or the mint pieces but you sure can taste them!

These were so delicious and a huge hit with the whole family.

    I'm not a big mint-in-my-chocolate fan but my family is! These would be perfect for them (and not a temptation for me! HA!) Thanks for linking up at the Blended Blog.

      Too funny; I'm like that with anything that has marshmallows in it! I can't stand marshmallows but my kids love them and that way they can have dessert and I don't have to worry about eating it all when they're in bed.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the whit...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

10 on the 10th... on the 8th

Image
 Since the 10th falls on a Sunday this month (and I don't blog on the weekends) I thought I'd share my 10 on the 10th a bit early. I love that it also coincides with Friday Favorites since Marsha's 10 on the 10th is often one of my favorite prompts to answer.  Rather than asking us specific questions this month, Marsha has asked us to share 10 things we like to do or eat in November. I thought I'd actually share 10 of each! Now not everything on my list is something we only like to do or eat in November-- we hike pretty much year round and you better believe that many of our favorite foods are enjoyed throughout the fall/winter season too but I'm sure you won't mind me taking a bit of a creative license with the prompt.  10 Things I like to DO in November: Hiking, of course! Though November isn't as pretty for hiking up here it's still not icy and snowy yet so we get out hiking at least once a week. Typically we need coats, gloves, and hats this time of...

It's the last Wednesday of the month and that means it's time for What's Up Wednesday.

What I'm Reminiscing About:  Nothing much at all!  What I'm Loving:  We have had some really amazing weather this month. I am loving that it stayed warm so late this year. Plus we've had some really lovely sunrises. What We've Been Up T...
