  • Leftover brownies can be frozen if stored in an air tight container.

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!
