One of the cakes that I baked back in my high school days was a pound cake flavoured with peppermint essence. It tasted funny and none of my family members liked it. It has been almost twenty years since I last baked the cake but until now, my brother still jokes about the "toothpaste cake" that I forced him to eat.
Well, this Brrrr-ownies recipe certainly brings back fond memories of my "toothpaste cake". A large amount of chocolate mint (I used Andes) is added to the batter and the brownies are rich, moist and of course, it gives a cool blast of minty flavour too.
If you want to give the recipe a try, head over to Karen's blog!

Toothpaste cake? Hm. Interesting name. Your brownies do NOT look like that but mine kinda turned out that way. I now have a new name for them.
That reminds me of the time I brought a huge tub of spearmint leaves in for my international students to try and they all hated them--said they tasted like toothpaste. So, I ate them all myself, and would do the same with your brownies!
Did you make this in a mini loaf pan? I really like the shape of your brownies. They look wonderful!
Did you like them?? We thought they were excellent.
Your brownies look great!
Hahaha! Toothpaste cake! My hubby loved these and though I was prepared to dislike them I ended up liking them a lot!
that is freaking hilarious - "toothpaste cake". lol. made me smile at the thought.
Ooh I love these! Made them not long and I totally adore the peppermint and chocolate combination. I like how you baked it in a loaf pan...so cute!
I'm totally a mint person and I love toothpaste cakes and loved these too! Yours look gorgeous in the loaf pan!
Have you tried toothpaste flavored jelly bellies? :) Your cake looks beautiful! Thanks for baking with me this week!
LOL, toothpaste cake doesn't sound so good. Your brownies sure look perfect though.

Your Brownies is really tempting, i made it but it turn out different. mine sink in the middle. Do you make some changes from Karen recipe? coz her Brownies doesn`t look like yours too.Please help. Desperate to have brownies like yours. Thanks
Hi all - Thanks for your kind comments!
Anonymous - I didn't make any changes to the recipe, except reducing the baking time by 5 minutes because I baked a smaller loaf. I'm not sure why your cake sank in the middle, did you open the oven door when the cake was in the midst of baking?
looks really yummy..gotta try this when i have time
