Kentucky Derby (Recipe: Mint Julep Brownies)

by // // No Comments

So…at about 8:15 last night, I remembered we were having a Kentucky Derby themed potluck at the office.  Called my Dear Sister, Sandy in a panic.  Bantering back and forth, we came up with Mint Julep Brownies.  Dear Sister gave me my shopping list:

  • Brownie mix
  • Andes Mints
  • Fresh mint (in the Produce Aisle)

I already had bourbon, milk, confectioners sugar, eggs and oil.

So, I followed the brownie mix recipe adding chopped Andes Mints.

While the brownies were in the oven, I mixed 1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar (Dear Sister said 2 cups…wow!) 2 tsp of bourbon and 1 tsp of milk and a drop or two of green food coloring;

I cooled the brownies for about 30 minutes, then, haphazardly dribbled the “glaze” on the brownies; I put them in the fridge to harden the glaze a bit and put a leaf or two of mint in the center of each cut brownie.  Here are the results:

They were a big hit at the potluck and only took about 45 minutes!
