  Great flavour! Took a little longer to cook than the recipe recommends-but I do have a terrible oven! A definite must to try!

  Lovely! Also took a bit longer than time stated, but turned out perfectly gooey and delicious. I used mint buttons instead.

  these were good! made for friends birthday and they went down very well. I couldnt finf matchmakers so used a bar of mint chocolate - dark from tesco - was lovely. These were easy to put together. I agree they need slighlty longer cooking time.

  Wow - one of the best brownie recipes I've found and love the mint flavour. Made for Mothers Day and mum suitably impressed, as was other half who is not a fan of cake generally, but this hardly counts as it's so chocolatey! I ran out of dark choc so drizzled milk choc over the top along with the white mint icing and it worked fine. Other half is going to take the rest to work with him tomorrow, as if they stay at home I'm going to be tempted to scoff the lot! Will definitely make again as its a very straightforward recipe. I found the cooking time on this recipe quite accurate, when normally my oven requires longer, and it came out like the description and picture.

  Love mint, love chocolate...loved this recipe!! Really easy to make and great reason to use the peppermint extract i found!! Even without the peppermint drizzle the matchmakers made this taste really choco minty!!! think i may try without the drizzle the next time just to see if they'd be enough! Only problem for me was the timing....took about 10 mins longer than stated!!!

  The best brownies I've ever had! Everyone at work loved them and I now don't think I could enjoy a brownie without the minty taste. I also found it needed 10-15 minutes longer cooking and I didn't have any peppermint essence but found they were plenty minty enough. I did find the 100g chocolate for the drizzling on the top was way too much though. I ended up doing a whole flat topping with it - but I'm not complaining about that as it was gorgeous!

  These must be the easiest brownies to make, I made these last weekend and they went down a storm with both family and work colleagues who couldn't get enough of them. Regarding the topping as there was so much dark chocolate involved I decided to leave off the chocolate topping and the peppermint icing (this reminded me of toothpaste - it was horrible). I drizzled melted white chocolate over the top instead.

  I make these at least once a week - such an easy recipe and stunning every time! I tried using a chocolate orange instead of the peppermint Matchmakers and it was just as amazing! A firm favourite in our house!!

  Made these tonight with my 8 year old stepson. They were easy but I bought the ingredients in a hurry from a shop that didn't stock peppermint essence. So instead of using dark chocolate we used mint plain chocolate. There were still gorgeous and the peppermint icing wasn't necessary. Using the mint matchmakers as mint choc chips is a stroke of genius and we also bought the orange matchmakers to make an orange version another time.

  Forgot to mention - we also had to leave these in the oven for a good 5 minutes longer.
