This treat is made up of recipes I pulled from two different church cook books. As Proverbs says two is better than one, so that must be why these taste so heavenly.
These are chocolate manna from heaven loaded with all that sinful goodness.
They’re made with unsweetened baking chocolate and are super moist and fudgy.
I love the way the melted Junior Mints combine with the brownie and the frosting.
The brownie recipe is a super simple homemade recipe I pulled from my Aunt Mah-tha’s Washington St. United Methodist Church’s Bicentennial Cookbook.
The chocolate frosting recipe is also a quick and easy recipe. I pulled it from the First Baptist Huntsville Finest Recipes cookbook (circa 1995).

Rule of thumb – fudgy brownies are made with melted chocolate and cakey brownies are made with cocoa powder.
