Well, Mint Brownies Are Yummy

In a blog writing a few days ago I mentioned I was going to try making brownies with Andes chopped mints incorporated into the mix. I made them and they were good. I did not measure the amount of chopped brownies I added to the brownie mix I just guess at what looks like a good amount and I just go with it. When they came out of the oven while still warm I sprinkled a good amount on top of them. I gave it a few minutes and then they were melted enough to spread the topping all over the brownies. The once solid form of simple chopped Andes mints now transformed to a simple frosting for the brownies. I then let them cool and I topped them off with more chopped mints to decorate the brownie. Now, if I had more time I just may have loaded them up with a cocoa butter cream frosting. Maybe the next time I just may do that. If one is going to indulge in a sweet treat with that cup of coffee or tea or even a glass of cold milk why not take the plunge and indulge in a very decadent brownie right? Now mind you, not to eat the whole pan of brownies but in moderation have a brownie here and there. I am not talking huge pieces either. When I took them to work I cut them in sizes big enough to fit into a mini muffin size cupcake liner. It makes a nice presentation. I had a cute square shaped floral paper plate (you can pick up cute plates like this at Dollar Tree) and filled up the plate with the brownies. I actually had cupcake liners that happened to coordinate with the colors in the plate. You see, presentation is important. One already knows if they will like what you present to them with the way it is presented. Your eyes already detect something that may be a winner just from sight. Further explanation...You could have a plate of spinach or an item you just do not like at all but you may consider trying it just by the way it is presented on the plate. Does that make sense to you? Now, there may be something that you just detest and there will be no changing of your mind not matter how beautiful it appears. For me that would be lamb. I cannot eat or even smell the scent of cooked, roasted lamb for it does make my stomach not feel well. For some reason I cannot eat or even smell lamb cooking without feeling like I am about to get sick. That is one of those quirky things I guess.
