Creme de Menthe Brownies
Minty chocolate brownies perfect for an adult St. Patrick's Day party
-Don’t like Creme de Menthe? Replace with Jameson, Baileys, Godiva chocolate liqueur, or omit the alcohol altogether and just use milk.
-I recommend using a whey protein powder and not vegan since it would alter the amount of liquid needed. You can replace the cocoa with dark cocoa for a richer flavor, and the allulose can be replaced with granular sugar. Plain cashew, almond, or peanut butter can be used in place of the American Dream cashew butter listed below, but you might want to add 1/8th tsp of mint extract since this flavor is mint-based.
