Hey guys! Tis’ the season for Girl scout cookies! 😀 Today I am going to tell ya’ll how to make Thin mint brownies! There are many ways to do this, but my way is unique because this has never been done before! And guess what? They can also be made totally allergen free.

Here is the recipe:

For the bottom layer:

1 box of Thin Mint cookies except 2
5 Tbsp of butter

For the middle layer:

Your favorite brownie recipe ( I use this recipe: GF brownie recipe. )
1/2 C. chocolate chips

For the top layer:

1 stick butter
2 C. powdered sugar
1 drop of blue coloring and 2 drops of yellow coloring
1 tsp. mint extract
2 Thin Mints

Instructions

Bottom layer:

Crush up the cookies in a large plastic bag until they reach the consistency of sand. Next, melt the butter and mix it into the Thin mints. Press this mixture into the bottom of your brownie baking dish and let harden in the freezer for 5-10 minutes.

Middle layer:

All you have to do for this layer is, whip up your brownie recipe, fold in the chocolate chips, and then pour the batter into your brownie baking dish with the Thin Mints and bake for as long and needed.

Top layer:

Before making this layer make sure to let your brownies cool before adding this on top. First, cream the butter in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer. Then, add the powdered sugar little by little, once it’s all added pour in a tablespoon of milk; this should all be happening while the mixer is running. Add in all of the other ingredients and whip until fluffy. You may need more powdered sugar or mild depending on how you want the consistency of your frosting. Then all that left to do is pour the frosting on top of the brownies, smooth it out, and crush up those extra Thin Mints you saved and sprinkle them on top. And, of course, eat them! Enjoy!

Here are some pictures of my brownies:

Note: If you have an allergy to Gluten, Dairy, or Nut allergy, these can totally be made allergen free! The Thin mints are already Vegan ( meaning no allergens ), so all you have to do is tweak the recipe a bit. Add shortening instead of butter, use a gluten free brownie recipe, and Df chocolate chips.

Thanks for reading! I hope you get to try this recipe sometime!
