"These are very rich but good. I only make them for special occasions. I haven't met anyone that didn't like them yet though. Not really sure on the prep time or cook time."

These could definitely be habit forming! The mint taste is just right, it doesn't overpower the rest of the ingredients. They were easy to make. I used milk chocolate chips for the top layer, it worked really well with the other flavors. I will make these again, thanks Shari!!

OMGosh, these are fabulous! I made a batch to share at my daughter's choir concert and they were quickly gobbled up. Thank goodness...or I might have eaten the whole pan myself!

So rich and so good! The creme de menthe flavor really made these something special as compared to your usual brownies and the chocolate topping was excellent!

Fantastic! Made these for our office Christmas party (also for the latest Zaar potluck) and everyone who tasted them was very enthusiastic, including the office scrooge. They baked so nicely, even in my touchy oven. Just remember to soften your butter pretty well before mixing and you'll do fine.
