I wanted something special to take to a church potluck, so I invented these layered treats. They are great for St. Patrick's Day as well. The brownies are topped with a mint-flavored mousse and bittersweet chocolate icing. —Lori Risdal, Sioux City, Iowa

Substitute for NutsIf your family loves the crunch of nuts in brownies and chocolate chip cookies, but someone is allergic to them, add granola or crisp rice cereal in the same amounts as the nuts called for in your recipes. But, always check the granola or cereal packages for nut allergy alerts to be certain.

We substituted pecans for walnuts. The brownies are moist and chewy. A wonderful contrast to the mousse!

I'm trying to keep recipes that we (as a family) think are over the top. While this was okay, it wasn't "oh, Wow!". I don't know if we did something wrong. The brownies were not as chocolately as we thought they'd be, and we thought it would be better w/o nuts. Oh, and we couldn't find Irish Creme flavored creamer.

This recipe did not work out for me at all. The brownies themselves are fine. The filling was a big problem. I ended up making it twice and it broke both times. I don't know if my kitchen was too hot. I just got a new mixer and it is much more powerful than my old one. Maybe, I mixed too long. Whatever the case, I just went ahead and made the glaze and stuck in the Andes mints like in the picture.

This rates along with a death by chocolate cake. Just be very careful not to overcook the brownie base. Also it took more than 4 minutes to whip the heavy cream for the minty filling.

While the taste of these is out of this world, it wasn't practical for the picnic I made them for. The cream filling oozes out of it because the chocolate topping and brownie bottom are so much harder than the center filling. I was able to adapt it into a trifle recipe for St. Patty's day, however, and am thrilled with that!
