Fudgy Mint Squares are a delicious treat for the holidays! They’re also great for sharing!
I found this recipe many years ago, and they have become a favorite at our house. These fudgy mint squares are basically a brownie-type crust with a layer of minty cream cheese (kind of like cheese cake but thicker), topped with more delicious chocolate. They are delicious!
The best thing about these fudgy mint squares is that the topping gets decently hard, so they’re easy to stack, wrap in cellophane, tie with a ribbon, and give to family and friends. That is, if you want to give any away.
I have to admit that I’m a bit stingy with them, and I like to eat them all (not all in one sitting, mind you). But if you feel generous, these make great gifts. And if you don’t feel extremely generous, you could always make two pans!
