Thin Mint Brownies

hin Mints are delicious, but I’m getting tired of eating them straight and have been trying to incorporate them into richer and more satisfying desserts. Thin Min Icebox Cake was a complete failure because the Thin Mints never softened, but Thin Mint Pie and these Thin Mint Brownies were both terrific. The brownies have what I think is the perfect level of mint and their texture works well with the cookies.

Olive Oil Brownies

We’ve become a little obsessed with olive oil, so I was happy to stumble across this recipe for brownies made with extra virgin. Would a robust, fruity, olive oil really go well with chocolate?  The recipe was simple, so I decided to find out. I made the brownies late yesterday and let them chill overnight. [...]

Results are in! The fudge recipe from December’s Fine Cooking is a winner! I had a few issues which arose from trying to halve the recipe, but once I got the adjusted half-batch boiling times and temps right, I had the perfect fudge. The texture was creamy, but had the flakiness you’d expect from good [...]
