Mint Brownie Delight

I have been gravitating towards these cool and creamy type desserts. Makes sense since it's summer! I am finding that many of the recipes I've seen are similar in that they require Cool Whip, pudding or Jello, and cream cheese. The base is usually a graham cracker or cookie crust. For any of these recipes you could substitute your favorite flavors and create a new recipe all your own.

This one caught my eye because I love chocolate and mint and it just sounds so refreshing right now. If you are not a fan of mint, you could top the dessert with sliced almonds or shaved chocolate or how about toffee chips?

I found this recipe at Stella B's Kitchen.

Mint Brownie Delight

1 pkg. brownie mix
8 oz. cream cheese, softened

Bake brownies in a 9x13 " pan, according to directions on the package. Let cool completely

Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until combined. Fold in 2 cups Cool Whip. Spread over brownies. Refrigerate while making the pudding.

Using a whisk, beat the pudding mix with the milk until thick. Spread over cream cheese layer.
