These are the result of my late night hard work yesterday.
Growing up, one of our best family friends (and also the family my mom and I babysat/nanny for years) always brought us a batch of mint brownies at Christmas time. It was the only time she made them and I so looked forward to the knock on the door and seeing Irene Hola standing there with an entire plate of tiny mint brownie squares. Oh how I loved them! But she would never give our her recipe. Trade secret I guess.
When I looked through my first Our Best Bites cookbook, I saw the same mint brownies that Irene would bring us every year. I have been patiently waiting for Christmas time and an an excuse to make them ever since.
Well, with it being Christmas time now I just needed an excuse to carve out a couple of hours of precious sleep to make them. I got invited to a Girls Night Out cookie exchange and knew the day had finally come to make Irene's mint brownies.
And now I also know why she only made them once a year. They are addicting!!!
