Author Notes

I have been a girl scout for 10 years now. I always sell girl scout cookies, but I never really loved the taste of any of them. This year, I decided to take the best-selling Thin Mints and combine them with my brownie recipe. I was inspired by a local ice cream place that used to put mint-chocolate chip ice cream on brownies. —Jessica Burke
