WOW!! These are GREAT brownies! I will admit, I have never made brownies from scratch, but today was my best friend's birthday and she LOVES Junior Mints, so I went for it. Not only were they very easy to make, but better than any box brownie I have ever made!! The name says it all...a delicious moist fudgy brownie that is loaded with that great Junior Mints flavor!! Thanks for this great recipe!! :)

Awesome twist to an old favorite. The 9x13 pan was gone in less than 3 hours. TFS.

My family loved these--I couldn't get my son to stop eating them. The mint flavor is different from any other brownie I've had and I really enjoyed them. The only thing I did different was to use reduced calorie margarine instead of regular.

I've made this several times now, and always like it. It tastes a little "light", not ultra rich, but has great flavor and they are addicting! I can easily eat the whole pan myself. My favorite cocoa powder is from Penzey's, that is what I use in this recipe.

Easy to make, but I baked in an 8x8 metal pan for 20 mins at 350 and they turned out sort of dry.
