I made the homemade vanilla icing and put peppermint extract in it then put it on a cake with Andes mints yummy (my kids didn't like the idea of bitting into hard pieces)

SUPER easy to make and really pretty. They are a bit sweet and I think that next time I make them, I'll add mint to the brownie batter in addition to the frosting.

I made these brownies last year for the holidays and they were a huge hit. The only thing I'm going to do different the next time is add some mint to the brownie mixture. Also, crushing the candies was fun, but slightly messy.
