Mint Brownies have a delicious layer of mint cream sandwiched between the chocolate brownie and the chocolate icing.
One of my favorite things to do when I visit my college alma mater is to buy BYU Mint Brownies in The Wilkinson Center. These mint chocolate brownies are delicious and a favorite of almost everyone that steps foot on campus. Mint Brownies are a chocolatey, chewy brownie with a layer of mint green frosting covered by another layer of chocolate frosting! If you love mint and chocolate, this is the perfect recipe for you.

How to Make Mint Brownies
Start by making the brownies.
- Melt butter and mix in cocoa, allow to cool
- Mix honey, eggs, sugar, flour, baking powder and salt into the butter and cocoa mixture.
- Pour batter into a greased 9 x 13 pan
- Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes
While the brownies cool, make the mint layer.
- Add salt, corn syrup and powdered sugar to softened butter and beat until smooth and fluffy.
- Add mint extract and green food coloring and mix well

Oh my these look so goood, but I am just a little bit confused. Do you make the mint frosting for the green middle and then another batch of frosting without the mint for the frosting part ? Not sure I am clear on that.
Leigh Anne says
Denise I went in and clarified the recipe – so sorry! Hopefully it makes more sense now.
Cynthia says
I was just in Provo last week and enjoyed a mint brownie after a RS Fireside I attended with my daughter. I’m excited to have the recipe to make them at home.
Leigh Anne says
Cynthia, Can’t go to Provo without a mint brownie! Enjoy making them at home.

Love this! I was addicted to the Wilkinson Center brownies a zillion years ago. So, I know where you’re coming from. LOL I think they must have improved things.. I’m sure the ones we had back then were full of shortening. Butter is so much more appealing! Thanks, for the trip down Memory Lane. 🙂 I’m pinning this.
Cindy says
My family teases me every time we go to Utah because I have to go get a mint brownie from the creamery! Glad to know someone else has it on their Must Do List too!! I’m so glad I found this on pinterest…..now I don’t have to travel 12 hours just for my brownie fix! hehe
Leigh Anne says
Glad to know I’m not the only crazy one!!
Melanie says
Yum! I didn’t know that they printed a recipe for these. Definitely a BYU memory and a classic mint brownie.
