Mint Chocolate Brownies

One of my favorite things to do when I visit my college alma mater is to buy BYU Brownies in The Wilkinson Center.  These mint chocolate brownies are delicious and a favorite of almost everyone that steps foot on campus.  Now, with this recipe we can make them at home too.

After a long drive we have arrived in Provo, Utah.  Cali is moved into her dorm and we are enjoying our last couple of days with her visiting some of our favorite spots in town.

Before we left home I made my list of BYU/Provo favorites.  All the places I love to visit, shop and eat at while in Provo.  And always on the top of my list of favorites is visiting the BYU Bookstore and having BYU Brownies.  I’m not sure that’s what they call them but it’s what we call them at our house.

BYU Brownies

BYU Brownies are a chocolatey, chewy brownie with a layer of mint green frosting covered by another layer of chocolate frosting – yum!  These mint chocolate brownies are so wonderful.

Before I went to spend a fortune on college textbooks, I purchase my BYU Brownies.  I had planned on taking a picture of it to share with you but somehow it disappeared before I could get the picture taken!

Since I don’t like having to wait until my next visit to BYU to enjoy mint chocolate brownies, I googled it and found a recipe for BYU Mint Brownies in the BYU Alumni Magazine.  They’re great.

In fact, my younger daughter, says she thinks the ones we made were better than the brownies you buy on campus!

For me, the best part of the brownie is the frosting and I love the combination of the mint and the chocolate together.

I did manage to get a picture taken of the ones I made before they disappeared!
