Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- 9-inch Square Baking Pan
- Spatula
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 box fudge brownie mix (18.4 oz), plus ingredients listed on package
- 1 package Mint Oreo cookies (15.25 oz), divided
- 2 packages Andes Mint candies (4.67 oz each), unwrapped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9-inch square pan with parchment. Prepare brownie batter according to package or recipe instructions.
- Arrange whole Mint Oreos in a single layer across the bottom of the prepared pan. Roughly chop remaining Oreos and set aside.
- Pour brownie batter evenly over Oreos. Bake for 30–35 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Immediately place Andes Mints evenly over the hot brownies. Return pan to oven for 1–2 minutes until mints soften.
- Spread melted mints into an even layer using a knife or spatula. Sprinkle chopped Oreos on top, pressing gently to adhere.
- Cool completely in pan for at least 1 hour before slicing into squares and serving.
Notes
For the cleanest slices, chill brownies briefly before cutting. Pull brownies from the oven while the center is still slightly soft to maintain a fudgy texture.
