Alright. I totally wasn’t anticipating to find Girl Scout cookies until later this month or early next month. But I found some in a ‘drive through’ situation (FTW!)…and bought some. And then promptly ate them.

But while I wait for my beloved Thin Mints, I can always count on these brownies. It’s a few simple additions to any brownie batter that really matters!

I prefer to make brownies from scratch, but you can totally make these with a box mix and add the following:

• 2 tsp instant coffee
• 2 drops peppermint extract
• 2 cups dark chocolate & mint morsels (these are holiday themed, but you can find them on Amazon too!)

If you can’t get your hands on Girl Scout Cookies yet this year, make these to tide over your cravings!

These brownies are magical. Thin-mint-magical!
