Now that Halloween is over, it's official!  Yup...We're kicking off the merry holiday season with these yummy Triple Chocolate Mint Brownies with White Chocolate Buttercream Frosting! 

Extremely holiday-worthy for Thanksgiving, Christmas and St. Patrick's Day, Halloween and Easter.  We don't want to overshadow the extreme chocolate mint lovers out there, who love these anytime of the year!  (like my daughter!)

About Andes Chocolate Mint  

You might know these Andes candies as an after dinner mint.  It consists of one mint-green layer sandwiched in between two chocolate-brown layers.  

The candies are usually wrapped in green foil and imprinted with the company's logo, the word Andes written amidst a drawing of snow-capped peaks and is one of the best beloved flavors of the season, rightfully so!  

As for our Chocolate Mint Brownies

Who doesn't love the sweet, rich flavor combination of chocolate with the refreshing, cooling sensation of mint? It's so divine!

We tinted the frosting a light green color to rev up the festive vibe for the holidays. Hurray! 

Some Easy Shortcuts for Our Andes Mint Brownie Recipe!

• Firstly, if you're lazy or just don't want to make frosting in general, there's always the option to buy a tub of either cream cheese or vanilla frosting and leave it as is.  Add a hint of mint extract to boost up the flavor.  Add some chopped Andes candies and tint the frosting a mint green color with green color gel or food coloring to bring in that holiday cheer.  It's a snap!
• I love making my own brownies, versus a brownie mix, mainly because I always have the ingredients on hand, but again, you have the option to buy a brownie mix and make it as directed per the box instructions. 
• The recipe below is for an 8x8 pan of brownies, so depending on the thickness of the brownies you might be baking, if you choose to use a brownie mix for a 9x13 pan, then double the frosting, by doubling the frosting below or by buying 2 tubs of frosting to doctor up. 
• If you don't have Andes mints, you can substitute with mini chocolate chips or Oreo cookie chunks or any kind of chopped chocolate will work.

These jolly Triple Chocolate Mint Brownies with White Chocolate Buttercream Frosting are well suited for all of your upcoming holiday parties and family get-togethers. 

Perfect to just give away to friends and family as a beautiful gesture of Christmas giving.
