FAQs
Can I use a brownie mix instead of making the brownies from scratch?
Yes! Use your favorite boxed brownie mix and follow the same steps for layering.
How do I get clean slices?
Chill the brownies before cutting and use a sharp knife, wiping it clean between cuts.
Can I make these without food coloring?
Absolutely! The green coloring is just for a classic mint look and doesn’t affect the flavor.
What if I don’t have sweetened condensed milk?
It’s essential for the fudge layer’s texture, so substitutions may affect the results.
Can I use milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet?
Yes, but the brownies will be sweeter and less intense in chocolate flavor.
Can I double the mint layer for extra mintiness?
Definitely! Just adjust the thickness to your liking.
How do I know when the brownies are done?
The top should look set, and a toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs.

Sure! Chopped walnuts or pecans add great crunch.
Are these brownies freezer-friendly?
Yes! Wrap them tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.
