The Freshman Cook: Secret Recipe Club~Andes Mint Brownies

It’s Secret Recipe Club time, and today I have made a recipe from the website, The Boys Made Me Do It! This is a wonderful blog written by Cara. Cara is the mother of 3!!! boys, hence the name. God bless you Cara! It must be fun, and you must be so busy, having 3 boys. I made the Andes Mint Brownies posted on Cara’s blog, and they were delicious. She states in her post that they may be the perfect homemade brownie recipe, and she is right. They are fudgy, (my favorite), with just enough of a cakey texture to be wonderful!

Andes Mint Brownie Bites 

1/2 cup Butter, softened

1 cup Sugar

2 Eggs

1 teaspoon Vanilla

2/3 cup Flour

1/2 cup Cocoa 

1/2 teaspoon baking Powder

1/2 cup Andes Creme De Menthe Chips

Place the butter and sugar in your mixing bowl.

Cream together.

Add the eggs, and mix well.

Add vanilla and mix in.

In a separate bowl, add together the flour and cocoa.

Add baking powder.

Whisk dry ingredients together. The original recipe called 

for these ingredients to be sifter. I don’t have a sifter, so

I just whisk it all together. 

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix well.

Add the Andes Mint chips and mix in.

I made my brownies into brownie bites. I send a lot of

goodies to my son, in the mail, and bite travel well.

Spray a pan with pan spray, and dust with flour.

Cook for 15-20 minutes.

 When they are done in the oven, add a few pieces of the 

mint chips to the top of each brownie bite.

Enjoy!

Thanks for joining me to see my Secret Recipe Club recipe!

I made a few changes to the original recipe, but nothing to change the

recipe much. I eliminated the salt. The original wanted a 1/2 teaspoon 

of salt added. I also used a salt free baking powder. I could not tell any

difference in the taste.

This was a great recipe. Andes also makes a peppermint chip that would taste wonderful

in the recipe. they would be great for the holidays!

Thank you Cara, for posting a fantastic recipe.
