Chocolate Mint Brownies

By srumbel

It was fun to see the layers come together and after the first bite I knew I would be making this again! One of the ingredients for the middle mint layer was Creme DeMenthe. I didn’t have any and looked at my grocery store to see if I could easily find some. They didn’t carry it so I figured out a substitution. I don’t want to list an ingredient that is a pain in the neck to get. So…in place of the Creme DeMenthe I used peppermint extract, a little green food coloring and milk. Worked like a charm!
