Thin Mint & Andes Dark Chocolate Brownies!

TBH...I am not a dedicated chocolate 'mint' person like I am with other chocolate combinations.  But, these classic Thin Mint & Andes Dark Chocolate Brownies are pretty darn awesome, if I say so myself!

Tantalize your taste-buds with these moist, dense, fudgy, dark chocolate brownies loaded with Girl Scout Thin Mints and Andes Mints. 'WoW' factor included!  Chocolate and Mint Heaven, like these Mint Chocolate Layered Brownies!

These moist, dense, fudgy, dark chocolate brownies are graciously loaded with Girl Scout Thin Mints and Andes Mints.  

The dark chocolate and mint cookies and candies have a wonderful balance of mingling flavors.  They are not overpowered with mint...but still have enough 'wow' to tantalize your tastebuds!  This is one of my favorite brownie recipes I've had since way back in the day of childhood, but not sure where it originated from, but it is very popular.
