As a child, Mr. Décor’s mother would make Easy Doublemint Brownies every Christmas. A batch is easy to whip up and these brownies freeze very well. Make some now to have on hand all holiday season long.
Here are the brownie ingredients:
4 squares of unsweetened chocolate (I often use Bakers brand)
1 cup of butter or margarine
2 cups of sugar
4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon of peppermint oil (you can find this in the cake decorating aisle at Michael’s and Joann’s)
1 cup of flour
1/4 teaspoon of salt
Directions:
Melt butter and chocolate squares together in the microwave or use a stovetop double boiler.
In a mixing bowl beat the eggs, stir in sugar, oil, flour, and salt. Add the melted chocolate.
Spread mixture out onto a greased cookie sheet or jelly roll pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in a 350-degree oven. Let cool.
Frosting ingredients:
2 cups of powdered/confectioner sugar
4 tablespoons of butter or margarine
2 tablespoons of cream or milk
1 teaspoon of peppermint oil
You can also use food coloring to make the colored frosting.
Directions:
Combine all the ingredients in a mixer and frost the cooled brownies. Refrigerate or freeze for 20 minutes.
The last step for extra pizzaz:
Melt 2 squares of unsweetened chocolate with 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine.
Drizzle over topping and refrigerate or freeze again.
Easy Doublemint Brownies
Cut into small squares, makes approximately 50 brownies.
Fair warning: they can be quite addictive.
What’s your favorite holiday treat?

These are amazing, I'm sure. I don't dare make them, for brownies are my downfall. Lol Hope you have a great weekend.
Oh I am just starting my baking and these sound sooooooooo good.
Yum! I have a Tuxedo Brownie recipe from Pampered Chef that is a holiday standard for me, and the Oreo truffles have become a recent hit too. I may have to try these. I love esp. the make ahead factor. Thanks!
Those look great, thanks for the recipe. I'm not a fan of most baked goods, cookies, pies, etc., just too rich and sweet (I like savory) but there are a few things I like. My favorite Christmas treat is Kolachkies (a polish pastry that is jam filled). They are pretty light but sinful in the butter department ; ) I think my new favorite are the Swig Sugar Cookies that a friend of mine posted a link to on fb. I made them for Sarah, but I've had more than my share. They are really, really yummy.
ummm…..Nonie sent me over (she said HEY) and I'm sure glad she did…this recipe looks amazing.
I am following you thru Google Friends Connect…come by to see me when you can
I love chocolate and mint together, so this is one recipe I'll be saving! Thnaks.
If only I had those brownies now! Your recipe just made my holidays a lot happier with chocolate and mint.

These would definitely please me. My favorite holiday treat is peppermint ice cream. I like to serve it with brownies. If I made these brownies I'd get double the pleasure! '-)
