Yes I am aware that it is only the 15th of March
and that the 17th is the appropriate day for the celebration of
forceful eviction of snakes. However,
being that the 17th is a Saturday and I work in a very small office
that is inhabited by even smaller numbers on Fridays, we have embraced today as
the day for green!
I am also on a quest to be one of the few that actually
follows through on their “pins” to Pinterest. So when I saw this recipe, I knew it was gonna
get done! So I present to you……
Leprechaun Mint Brownies!!
First let me say… The original Pinterest link had a list of ingredients that was not
accurate. There was also limited source
information. All the poster said was
that it was a Betty Crocker recipe. Having
never been one to be out done by a bad link, I started my research. The original recipe was easy to find and thankfully the ingredient list was only off in
quantity, so I had everything I needed.
The concept was easy: Bake some brownies and slather multiple layers of
ooey, gooey decadence on top! The implementation
was many hours of waiting. The brownies
needed to cool completely (90 minutes), the cream filling needed to set (2
hours), the ganache needed to set (2 hours).
After everything had cooled, and layered, and set, and then warmed back
up again, I had to get it out of the pan!!!
This led to a couple sacrificial pieces, though the husband and children
didn’t seem to mind. It was a big
challenge to get the brownies out of the pan intact. The next time I do a layered anything I will definitely
be using a springform pan!
The finished product, however, more than made up for the
time and the struggle. They look
impressive on the plate and are beyond decadent. I have also decided the
following: Due to the amount of effort
put forth, let be decreed: “These brownies are CALORIE FREE!!!”
