They must be so good. But have you noticed how much margarine is in them? OYYY! (Sorry, I'm from the health police)

So, how 'bout posting your pb brownies recipe?

Someone was looking for this . Here it is.

why is it that the mint is always in a topping? why isn't the mint ever put in the actual brownie batter? I've seen a few recipes and that's how it's always been. (these look good btw)

why not use mint mouthwash instead of toothpaste? then you can get a little alcohol kick... Smile

but seriously I made a very similar recipe from last year's hamodia magazine and it was a big hit! enjoy it!

One fancy Yom Tov meal with guests, I heard my little kids whispering, "There's toothpaste in the chocolates!"
