  8. I made these for my small group and they taste great (!) but I used two 9x13 pans so my brownies were a lot thinner. My frosting was also WAY less thick and fluffy. I might have to make a double batch next time. Thanks for sharing! :)

  11. My mother-n-law's friend makes these & has been scouring the internet to find the recipe that tastes most like them. The picture you have posted looks exactly like them & I was hoping it was! ...Just made them today & was sad they aren't, but they will still be yummy! Like Kristin Young mentioned, the frosting didn't turn out as fluffy. My brownies didn't turn out half as decadent looking as the photo. (Is the photo one from this recipe?) I also halfed the mint extract. Great idea to make them for St. Patty's Day! Thanks for sharing...

  14. What do you mean by chill? After I spread the mint frosting, I put it in the fridge? Or I just let it set?
