“This is adapted from my great-aunt's recipe for grasshopper pie. My last version was a fluke, as I put in too much mint extract. I needed to cut the mint taste with something gooey and chocolaty, so I ended up flipping the whole thing upside-down on top of a brownie crust!” Sarah Newman - Brooklyn Center, Minnesota

Delicious.... You do not have to use two bags of marshmallows as the recipe calls for, and I only used an 8 oz container of low fat cool whip. It came out just fine! I read one of the other reviewers comment regarding it being too sweet, so I tweaked a bit! You can use one bag & about a quarter of another bag of the marshamellows. It will be perfect! I also used no fat Lactaid milk as well.

Really good, but REALLLLLLLY sweet! Due to all the marshmallows I guess! Left the mint extract out.
