Have you ever experienced the smell of burnt peppermint? No, you say? Well if you wish to subject your sense of smell to this nauseating scent come on over to my house; I'm sure the odor will last for days! After the mint filling in these brownies oozed all over my oven and turned into a piles of blackened peppermint, there is no escaping the smell. I tried leaving for a while with B3 (my youngest) to let the house air out , but we returned to, yep you got it, the smell of burnt peppermint. Had the recipe been at least somewhat edible I wouldn't be so bothered by the persistant odor invading my home however, it is next to impossible to eat more than one bite of this dessert and not encounter the scorched pepperpint flavor. I had such high hopes for this brownie recipe; it combined two of my favorite flavors, chocolate and mint, and looked so elegant and pretty in the photo. Maybe this would become one of my "go to" recipes when I was requested to bring a dessert.....
