Can I leave the mint out of these brownies?

Sure! If you aren’t a mint fan you can definitely leave the mint out! Just replace the topping with regular chocolate chips or any other kind of chips you like!

I think the mint adds a nice and unique touch to these brownies. That being said, you won’t miss anything essential to the recipe if you leave it out.

No matter how you prepare them, with mint or without, these are going to be an incredible fudge filled gooey treat that you will love.
