Three times the mint candies and cookies and marshmallows make these Mint S'mores Brownies a dream come true for chocolate and mint lovers.
Our poor puppy dog is getting old. Lately she has been having trouble getting up when she is lying down, and she gets tired out very fast when playing ball.
But the other day, my husband dropped a piece of chicken on the kitchen floor. Let's just say our dog made it into the kitchen faster than I have seen her move lately. We were all laughing at how motivated she was to get into the kitchen for that piece of chicken.
Then my husband started laughing again. He said, "Let's put brownies in front of you and see what happen." He's right...I would probably move a little faster to get up too.
The funnier thing was that our daughter was in the living room and only heard brownies. She yelled out, "I want brownies too."
So what was I to do...make brownies of course. Duh!
Feel free to make homemade brownies if you like, but this time I used a box mix because we had one in the cupboard. And because I have a thing for crazy jazzed up treats, I baked Andes mint chips in the brownies, and then toasted mint cookies and marshmallows on top. Then some mint M&M's added some fun green color after they came out of the oven.
These Mint S'mores Brownies were so ooey, gooey and so delicious!!! Let's just say I had no problem getting up and digging into a few of these brownies. You know you would too!!!

My mom's dog can't hear a dang thing, but she'll come running out of her hiding place when she hears one of us open the biscuit jar. I think she suffers from selective hearing. I had no idea mint m&m's even existed. I swear, I live under a rock. These brownies look wicked tasty.
Jocelyn
Yes, the kids and the dog have that selective hearing going on for sure! And you need to get out and find these M&M's...they are so good!

It's always hard when our furry friends get up there in age. I love how food can usually perk them up even when they aren't feeling well. My dog is a food thief even when he's down. These brownies look so amazing!!!
Julie @ Tastes of Lizzy T
Homemade brownies get me movin', too! I love that you used a boxed brownie mix. Homemade brownies are great, but you can't go wrong with doctoring up a boxed mix! They look beautiful, Jocelyn!
Jocelyn
Thank you so much! Jazzed up mixes are definitely my kind of dessert!
Jenny Flake
Brownies are one of my favorite desserts to make! These look amazing!!

Ashley | The Recipe Rebel
That is one crazy good combo! Obviously had to be done, I mean, think of the child! And that poor dog of course 🙂
Jocelyn
Yes, I was thinking of the kids 😉
Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust
That's how are dog is. She's 12 and feeling it...until someone comes to the door. Then she acts like a puppy!!
I love these bars so much!
Jocelyn

Jen @ Baked by an Introvert
I love the way you jazz up boxed goodies. The s'mores mint combo sounds wonderful.
Rachael
Jocelyn! These look perfect for not just this time of year but any time of year, day, week! I want to eat them all!
Laura @ Laura's Culinary Adventures
This is a combination of such wonderful things! I'd move quickly for one of these brownies!
Julie @ Julie's Eats & Treats
Well isn't your hubs just a funny guy? 😉 He'd probably move fast if you put these in front of him too! YUMMY!
Jocelyn
I wish that was the case, but he has such great will power in the dessert area that he would probably just let it lay there. Although a bag of chips might get him moving...

I have a kiddo who's mint obsessed! He will love these!
Gayle @ Pumpkin 'N Spice
I'm loving all of your mint creations, Jocelyn! This one is so creative! The smores and mint combo sound absolutely perfect. Pinned!
Aimee @ ShugarySweets
Love your puppy dog 🙂 And these brownies. Seems we both had mint brownies on the brain!!! Can't wait to see you SOON!!
Jocelyn
We do tend to think alike in the dessert world....well, usually in almost everything. Love it! And I'm so excited we get to hang out this weekend!
Kim @ The Celebration Shoppe
Mint M&Ms are addicting! Can't wait to try these!
Mir
Brownies are always the best idea. And brownies with M & Ms and all the goodies are even better! These look really good. And I know I'd eat them all...
Jocelyn
Haha! Yes, they are kind of hard to resist with all that goodness on top!
Valerie
Oh my, what a striking and very tasty desert. I love it!
Erin @ Miss Scrambled Egg
These mint recipes are on point! I love the idea of adding marshmallows to the brownies. A little creamy and a little minty is the perfect combination. Our twelve year old dog does the same thing! He sleeps a lot and is slow to get up, but if he sees a treat, he's a young pup again.
Jocelyn
I have been starting to drop a treat in front of her randomly just to make sure she is getting up and moving! Glad you love the mint and marshmallow 🙂
