    Grasshopper brownie recipe is perfect to take to a summer cookout or potluck.

    Today I’m sharing a new to me recipe that would be great for a cookout, backyard gathering, or potluck. Grasshopper brownies is a recipe given to me by my dear friend Kristy. Our kids go to the same school and we volunteer together. I made these for a meeting we both attended and they were a hit.

    Grasshopper brownies start with a mix for convenience and ease.

    When I thought about including this recipe, I asked her permission to share it. I have a few brownie recipes on the site already, like chocolate chip brownies and fudge frosted brownies, but you know there’s always a place for recipes that start with a mix. Especially when you have unexpected company, a last minute invitation, or your kids forget to tell you about tomorrow’s bake sale. I consider this a semi-homemade dish since the cream cheese frosting is made from scratch.

    I’ve made these grasshopper brownies a couple of times since Kristy gave them to me. They have won rave reviews each time, from kids and adults. If you like a more peppermint flavor, up the extract to ½ a teaspoon. Any more would be overpowering. The best thing about this recipe is that I usually always have the ingredients on hand.

      I love this flavor combo. I remember the cocktail, and of course grasshopper pie! Using the flavors in brownies sounds delicious.

      I know this is meant to be a summer dessert, but with that green icing and mint flavoring, it would be a great addition to a winter dessert table as well!
