  A work colleague took one bite and said, 'That's half-way between an After Eight and heaven.' Will definitely be making again.

  Very Nice!! The only thing I did differently was used a 18x27cm pan as did not have the suggested size. Was better I think as were slightly thinner and worked well as very rich.

  Made these as one pudding option for Mothers Day, everyone liked them. Could have been a little more minty for our taste so might try mint dark choc for the top next time :o)

  I will definitely repeat this treat again, but next time I better use the tin specified in the recipe. I used a rectangular one, longer, and the result was thinner brownies. This wouldn't have been a problem if I would have checked the cooking time better. The brownie layer turned out to be dry. My brownies are edible, but definitely not what they are supposed to be.

  Very enjoyable. My stepson doesn't care for mint so I split the filling in half and just added mint to one half and vanilla to the other. Both were good.

  Divine!! Cut mine up into much smaller squares then I froze what wasn't instantly gobbles up! Froze and defrosted fine! Will be making again, tomorrow in fact, and will also be trying them with orange extract in the white choc with a little orange food colouring! delicious!

  I've made these several times now - but they keep getting eaten !! I might also try making them orangey as Miss W said, or maybe coffee? All I know is my family & friends can't get enough of them !

  I made these for a bake sale and they went down very well. As suggested I added an extra tsp of peppermint essence and the minty flavour came through nicely. Will definitely make again!

  A great recipe, the minty topping is lovely, but will next time put the topping on my usual brownies as the brownie layer wasn't as nice as the ones I usually make

  the first time I made these, unfortunately my peppermint extract had been in the cupboard for too long and had gone rancid (whoops!), so my second attempt was done with a new bottle & they were excellent, very impressive.

  These were lovely and I absolutely would make again but I feel they lacked some crunch in the texture. For me, 3 squishy layers was too much. Possible changes I'm considering are chocolate cornflake base, choc shortbread base, adding choc chunks to the brownie, or just using pure melted chocolate on the top instead of the suggested icing. Also thought about making the mint layer orange flavour!

  These were amazing. I too added extra mint to the cream. Have to say though, they took ages to make with all the cooling involved! Next time, I might make the brownies the night before.

  Lovely! I don't like mint so I added a teaspoon of vanilla essence to the cream layer (and left out the food colouring!) it was lovely! Would make again.

  These are yummy. I decided not to use mint as the filling as my children aren't keen on mint. Instead I added orange extract to it. I can highly recommend it however, I had to use A LOT of orange extract to get it orangey enough. I will try using the mint next time. I felt like my brownie base was a little over-cooked and not gooey enough but nobody seemed to notice or care as it was smothered in loads of orange and chocolate lovliness! Definately a keeper

  Really delicious! The cake layer only took 10-15 minutes. May try reducing the amount of butter in thechocolate top layer so it doesn't need so much chilling. Also, used half plain/half white chocolate in the top layer as that was all I had and it was lovely. May just use milk chocolate next time.
