St. Patrick’s Day is in just a couple of weeks and I just had to share this delicious, fudge-y, yet cake-like Mint Chocolate Cake Brownie Recipe with y’all early! I think it can hold its own against my Guinness Chocolate Cupcakes and my Irish Dirt Cakes, because, oh goodness, these tastes like a childhood memory! Exactly like a Mintwich, or two chocolate cookies with mint chocolate chip ice cream between them. When I was a little kid, my dad worked for a dairy that made them and I always got one in the summer time!

Anywho, enough about me, let’s get to this recipe. First, you’re going to whisk your dry ingredients together.
Once your flour and cocoa powder is mixed, you’ll melt together some butter and chocolate. Yup. Make shift a double broiler using a small sauce pan with a glass bowl on top. Just make sure the water and bowl don’t meet.
