Love mint?  You’ve GOTTA try this Bailey’s Mint Chocolate Chip Dip

Mocha Mint Mississippi Mud Brownies now that’s a mouthful, literally.

I’m a huge sucker for anything coffee and mint. So, when Door County Coffee & Tea Co. sent me samples of their coffee to use in recipe creation for this week, I immediately jumped on the mocha mint flavor.

Coffee is known to bring out the intensity of chocolate, hence why I always put coffee, or espresso, into my chocolate baked goods.

I’ll be honest when I say I’ve never had Mississippi mud cake or mud pie, but I love the combination of chocolate, marshmallows and frosting.

This brownie recipe is so easy, super fudgy and everything you’d want in a homemade brownie.

I loosely adapted this recipe from the base of my Irish Car Bomb Brownies

  7. Drizzle* chocolate all over the top and cut into 16 squares.

*I opted not to make a frosting but rather drizzle on some chocolate.  Again, feel free to use your favorite frosting recipe or store bought.

Can I use a box mix?

Absolutely!  Choose your favorite boxed mix and go from there.

I always highly recommend using a Ghirardelli mix but any boxed brownie mix will do.

These Mocha Mint Mississippi Mud Brownies are a chocolate mint lovers dream. 

They’re fudgy, chewy, chocolately, slightly salty and crunchy and the best “mud” you’ll ever eat.

    My guys are huge chocolate mint fans and brownies never last long around here, so I am sure these would disappear in an instant.
