My. God. I made these tonight for the first time for my ballroom dance team's practice. I had 48 brownies...two hours and 11 people later, there are four left. They are AMAZING. One person tried them, and all of a sudden I had a horde of people crowding the brownie pan. I've been given offical title of "team mom". Oh, and the ganache set wonderfully with half the amount of cream. I'll be saving these for road trips to our competitions. This and the cream scones were the first things I've tried off your website, and both came out beautifully. I'll definitely be trying more :-) Oh. My. God.

I've been sitting in the currently temperamental Sydney weather for days, and craving nothing but mint and chocolate combos. I sooo want to make these but...I refuse. I'll need to save these for a party or something, I can't trust myself with a batch of these at home. Oh dear.

Anyone have a similar recipe/desert idea that would be healthier? I've made her home made granola bars (spent grain from beer brewing + honey + nuts/raisins/whatever), but one can only do so many varieties of granola bars before everyone goes batty.

I decreased the amount of cream in the ganaches and they set up nicely - no problems. These got rave reviews and were delicious. This recipe is a keeper!

For the second batch I increased the mint just with a little over pour because I prefer a stronger mint favor. It was great! Thanks so much for this recipe - it was a hit!

Mmmm! Just thinking about them makes me want to go grab another one. I used about 2/3 the cream for the ganaches and it worked perfectly. They also firmed up alot quicker than the recipe notes. I used 1/2 tsp. creme de mente and 1/2 tsp. peppermint turned out good. I definitely wouldn't want anymore mint though as it was pretty strong as it is. Thanks for another great recipe!

She was also always concerned about keeping our kidneys warm and wearing lipstick. She was a darling and I think, from reading this, that she and your grandmother would have gotten along very well.

That's kind of what I was figuring. Will let you know how it turns out! Also, think I will try the topping from the dulce de leche squares. Thanks. That’s kind of what I was figuring.

It seems best to put in just a small amount, taste the ganache and make sure it is not overpowering, and add more if needed. I have never worked with raspberry flavoring before.

I want to make these for our Valentine's Friday work lunch, but wanted something red, so I thought a raspberry flavoring would be better.
