I wanted something special to take to a church potluck, so I invented these layered treats. They are great for St. Patrick's Day as well. The brownies are topped with a mint-flavored mousse and bittersweet chocolate icing. -Lori Risdal, Sioux City, Iowa

The brownies were a bit dry. I would recommend adding an extra egg to the batter.

These brownies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar by 1/4 cup.

I'm not usually a fan of mint, but I loved these brownies. The mint flavor was subtle and didn't overpower the chocolate.
