Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease bottom only of 9-inch square pan. Make brownie batter as directed on box— except stir in pecans and 2/3 cup of the chocolate chips (reserve remaining chocolate chips for glaze). Spread batter in pan.

In small bowl, stir all frosting ingredients using spoon until well blended. Spread frosting over brownies.

In 1-quart saucepan, heat Glaze ingredients over low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted. Stir in hot water, a few drops at a time, until mixture is thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over frosted brownies. Refrigerate about 30 minutes or until glaze is firm. For brownies, cut into 6 rows by 5 rows.

Can’t find mint chocolate chips? Use semisweet chocolate chips and add a few drops of mint extract to the Brownie batter, and a couple of drops to the Shiny Chocolate Glaze.

Yummy. I made these for a dinner party and they were a huge hit. I skipped the chocolate glaze since I don’t own a pastry bag. They still turned out amazing. I used Andre’s Creme de Menthe chips which had the perfect blend of minty and sweetness.

What a refreshing combination! For another, try using raspberry-flavored chocolate chips for the mint ones and tint the mint frosting pink.
