Cindi's Minty Brownies

1 box Ghiradelli chocolate brownie mix (I use plain mix with chocolate sauce in the box)

1/4 cup chopped fresh mint

3 ounces good dark chocolate broken into little pieces

1 cup mini marshmallows

Make brownie mix as directed on box.

Immediately scatter chopped chocolate pieces on top of the cooked brownies and stick back into hot oven 1 more minute.  You want to soften the chocolate pieces so that you can spread the melted chocolate over the brownies.

add marshmallows over the melted chocolate and stick back into oven at 400 degrees on the broil mode and toast marshmallow until it begins to puff and turn golden brown.

Remove from oven and let cool completely.  Use a knife sprayed with non-stick cooking spray so that you can cut brownies without sticking in the marshmallow!
