Fluffy lime and mint infused cupcakes with a tangy cream cheese frosting.

Rich, moist, and thick chocolate mint brownies are topped with a creamy mint frosting and chopped Andes mints. These are definitely a must for those who love a chocolate and mint combination.

Chocolate and mint. Low carb and gluten free. Need I say more?

Putting these into the Brownie category is really selling them short - they are so, so much more than that. The brownie is simply the base - a chocolaty, fudgy, chewy vessel for carrying an inch-thick layer of minted buttercream to your mouth, held down by a snap of bittersweet chocolate that cracks under your teeth with each bite. They are quite sweet in the best way, and you'll do well to keep a cup of coffee in one hand and a brownie in the other. Also, the liquor alone isn't enough to give the buttercream its minty boost, so you'll need a bit of peppermint extract. I made the mistake of buying mint extract which turned out of be a combination of spearmint and peppermint, and the very smell of spearmint makes me gag worse than strep-test. Do as I say, not as I do.
