Okay, it's official. I should not be taking photos at 5:30AM.
What can I say. These taste like deep dark chocolate and mint. The mint section is a bit gooey and they are so rich that I can only eat one. Me, eat only one! This is almost unheard of until now.
Anyway, I made these Thursday evening. It's just like the recipe says, (BAKED Link) First you make the brownie. It's a short brownie, mine was only about a half an inch tall. Then you make the butter cream, but is was kind of strange. Made with flour, sugar, and milk. I finally got it thick and mint and poured it on the brownie which I forgot to let cool. I was amazed that the butter in the butter cream melted on the spot. Not all of the butter. This sucker went into the fridge as fast as I could move. I check on it every 30 minutes and was able to incorporate the melted butter back into the butter cream. Once that was pretty solid I poured the chocolate glaze over the whole thing and popped it back in the fridge.
I got mixed reviews from my taste testers. No one had seconds because they were so rich. They are tasty, but fussy to make. Overall a good recipe for those chocolate mint lovers.
I also thought these were pretty rich, but I did enjoy them. You were also right about them being finicky. They had to be timed just right, which can be annoying when you have a million other things going on in your day :)
