March has arrived, and I started thinking about creative ways to use Fairytale Brownies in a St. Patrick's Day recipe. I scoured the internet for ideas and found this really great recipe from About.com's BusyCooks. The recipe is called Irish Mint Brownies - but I made a few small adjustments. Instead of baking the Mint Brownies from scratch, I've substituted them for our individually wrapped gourmet Mint Chocolate Brownies - which are to die for (and my personal favorite). I thought they would be perfect in this great brownie recipe! Imagine hand drizzled chocolate mint spread over our rich 3" x 3" Belgian Chocolate brownie. Yum!
Ingredients:
12 Mint Chocolate Fairytale Brownies
Green Frosting:
1 tub vanilla ready to spread frosting
1/2 tsp peppermint extract
Few drops of green food coloring
Top Frosting:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp cocoa
1 1/2 tbsp water
2 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
Preparation:
Unwrap all 12 Fairytale Brownies. Arrange them on a serving plate, or line them in a pan. In a small bowl combine frosting, green food coloring and mint extract and beat will until frosting is evenly colored. Spread the mixture over the Fairytale Brownies.
In a medium bowl, mix with a wire wisk the powdered sugar and cocoa. In a microwave safe bowl, combine the butter, water and microwave for 30-45 seconds until the butter melts. Add the powdered sugar and wisk until smooth. Stir in the vanilla until smooth. You may need to add more water to reach a pouring consistency. Then carefully poor this frosting over the green frosting and gently spread to cover. Don't worry if some of the chocolate frosting mixes with the green frosting - that just looks pretty!
I've included a picture of the recipe, however keep in mind yours will look different if you use Fairytale Brownies. They will be square and not in a pie shape.
