Steps:
- Prepare brownies, either home made or Boxed.

- Do not remove side yet.
- To prepare mint mousse: In the microwave melt the 1 cup chopped mints.
- In a double broiler over boiling water whisk the yolks until pale and frothy.
- Slowly whisk in the melted mints, scraping the cup with a spoon, not your finger!
- The mix will stiffen.
- Quickly whip the whites to semi-stiff peaks and slowly fold into the mint mixture.
- Quickly whip the heavy cream until thick and slowly fold this into the mint/egg mixture.
- Fold well and set aside 1/4 the mousse.
- Top the cooled brownie with the remaining 3/4 mint mousse and carefully level smooth.
- Chill.
- 1 hour later melt the 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips with the 1/4 cup half and half.
- Whisk well until you have a smooth chocolate sauce.
- Carefully top the mint mousse with the melted chocolate sauce.
- Cool.
- Decorate top with unwrapped, whole mints.
- Top with 10 dollops of the remaining mousse.
