The holidays are around the corner and maybe you need a present
for your friends/co-workers or kids class?
I made these treats as presents for my co-workers last year
because i was looking for something in expensive to give
but also from the heart. I usually baked them treats
but I didn't want to make cake pops again like I usually do.
I had such great reviews and even emails asking for the recipe
so I thought I'd share them with you guys :)
NOW warning in advance this is not a "calorie friendly" treat
BUT if you love mint brownies like i do then it's definitely worth it :)
I should've written down the recipe but really it was an experiment
at the time BUT I did take pics with my phone :)
So, I'm going to tell you guys the steps by memory (eeps!)
First you'll need a brownie mix
and you can use any mix you want but I use this or this a LOT
and you'll also need 1 bag of Andes Creme de menthe baking chips
Mix your brownie as directed and add 2 cups of the mints
and then you'll need mint oreos or some candy cane joe joes
you'll also need some canning jars I used the small jelly ones
crush the oreos and place a couple spoon fulls at the bottom of the jar
add the brownie mix about 1/2 way in the jar
do not put more because you want space left on top
and bake as directed on the box
but check your jar and add/deduct a few minutes
if your batter is still sticking if you poke it
I just put the jars on a baking sheet and added water on the sheet
when you're finished it should look like this deliciousness
Once it cools down a little bit (you might get some deflation & that's OK)
You'll need some marshmallow fluff
just add a spoon full to cover the top
drizzle some hot fudge
Then add some crushed candy canes (for color)but you don't have to if you don't want to
& more andes mint baking chips
I decorated my jar a little bit
with some Making memories Fa la la paper & tape
I also added a little ribbon with a tag saying you can eat this alone
or like me, serve it with ice cream
and if you serve this with ice cream you can probably get a couple servings :)
I want to say this treat cost me all together about $2.50 or less per jar
and all my friends & co workers really loved it!
Enjoy & happy holidays!
