Tips:

  • Brownies can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days if covered tightly.
  • Leftover brownies can be frozen if stored in an air tight container.
  • The brownies can be frozen either with the frosting or without.
  • Brownies can be frozen for up to 3 months.

I like to spread the frosting on when the brownies are still slightly warm. I love the melty chocolatey-ness! It is soooo good!

I always make these delicious, chocolately, minty brownines for him on his birthday or whenever I feel like surprising him with his favorite treat.

Have a great day!
