Desserts - Cookies, Brownies, Bars
CHOCOLATE MINT BROWNIES

2 cups Fast and Festive Cookie Mix (recipe follows)
1 (6 oz.) package (1 cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped nuts
teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
16 creme-filled chocolate mints

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 9-inch square pan.

In small saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate chips, stirring constantly.

In large bowl, combine cookie mix, melted chocolate chips, nuts, vanilla and eggs at low speed just until blended. Spread evenly in greased pan.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes or until set. Immediately arrange mints on top; return to oven and bake an additional 5 minutes. Spread softened mints evenly over brownie surface. Cool completely; cut into bars.

Note: You could probably take any cookie recipe and use the Andes choc mints on them.
