Indulge in these outrageously decadent Chocolate Mint Fudge Crumb Bars for the ultimate chocolate and mint treat!
PIN IT NOW!
I can’t believe we’re closing in on the end of February and I have yet to share a single chocolate mint recipe with you yet! I have been remiss! What kind of blogger am I? A very busy one as of late 🙂
But I’m going to make up for it today. Today I’m sharing a chocolate mint recipe to TOP all chocolate mint recipes. It’s got it all: oodles of chocolatey goodness, fresh mint flavor, easy handheld bar form, and a crumb base and topping. You’re welcome.
I love St. Patrick’s Day because I like to make rainbows out of my food and because I think it’s super important for everyone to have some green in their diet…am I right?
I kind of went a little crazy with these bars using two of my favorite mint candies – Andes Creme de Menthe baking chips and Dark Chocolate Mint M&Ms. I know, get the milk ready. I started with the Andes but because the green is hidden I relented and added mint M&Ms to the top of these bars. #notabadchoice
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that these just may become your new favorite chocolate mint dessert. Of course, I know you’ve got lots to choose from years past like these Chocolate Covered Mint Patties or these Chocolate Mint Brownies or perhaps this Mint Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball.
I just had the most amazing idea! How awesome would it be to throw a St. Patrick’s Day party and have an entire dessert table devoted to chocolate and mint treats? Of course, make sure to note on the invites that everyone brings their stretchy pants…;) #soworthit

Well now that your mouth is watering…sorry about that!

I try not to buy those mint M&Ms because I eat ALL OF THEM. In like a day. I’m impressed that you held off long enough to get these baked up. Love these bars, and Trish, if you are throwing a mint party, I’M SO THERE. 🙂

You can’t go wrong with pairing mint with chocolate. I am a BIG bar fan. Quick and often offers some awesome flavor combos. Your recipe proves my point.

I was just thinking the other day what a slacker I was because I haven’t done very many mint desserts, so I would be totally up for a St. Patty’s Day party…as long as you bring these bars. I am loving all the layers of goodness in these!!!
