Grinch Brownies #Christmas #brownies

Grinch festive twist on Brownies Brownie Oreo Mint! I added a ton of Mint Oreos to a simple brownie mix and then topped with a White Chocolate Mint Ganache is soft, more Oreo cookies and some chocolate candy red. SO super fun!

I know I'm coming down to the wire here as far as Christmas treats to go. I started a little late this year. You would think I would be a better blogger and start preparing for Christmas back in July when people are much more ready to do. But ya know ... I was me.

And I must say, inspo for brownies is derived from one of my Son's best friend, Nate. Last weekend, we went to their House to pick up part of the fun  "Bake-Off's" tradition they have. All children must come up with the recipe, bake and present it to  "judge ". However, Nate wanted to create a sort of no-bake bar with Oreo, chocolate and mint extract. She doesn't follow recipes chosen to make the Bar all on her own.
