Chocolate Mint Brownies
Mint is one of my favorite flavors. It's also my go-to flavor. If we are getting ice cream, I'll probably get Mint Chip. If we are getting fudge, I get mint. I LOVE it!

I think I actually prefer the box mix because those tend to be chewy brownies and these homemade ones are very cake like.

Let’s Spoon Together This Valentine’s Day
Disclosure: I received free product samples for review purposes. All experiences and opinions are my own. Yours may differ. Ever since my trip to Austria, I'm rather picky about my gelato.
