These mint swirl brownies remind me of my favorite Girl Scout cookie – Thin Mints! The combination of mint and chocolate is my idea of heaven! The cookie pieces add a nice crunch to the brownies. These brownies make a fun treat to bring to a book club or potluck. I line the baking dish with aluminum foil and spray with oil – this makes it so easy to remove the brownies from the pan.
