My wife loves mint. She also loves chocolate. So making these Mint Mississippi Mud Brownies for her was a no brainer. I needed the brownie points (pun intended). Basically, if you love brownies and mint-flavored desserts, then you must give this recipe a try.
Unlike your typical chocolate brownies, these have a wonderfully minty filling in them. I'm not a huge fan of minty flavored stuff, but these brownies are delicious. The last time I made these brownies and brought them to a party they were gone within minutes.

Can I use gluten free flour in the brownie mix ?
Chef Rodney
I see no reason why you can't use Gluten Free Baking Flour. I sometimes do this depending on who I am serving. Depending on the brand of flour you are using, you might have to adjust the amount of flour if it's not a 1:1 ratio.
