When making the famous BYU mint brownies, make sure to do the following: 1) carefully read the directions, and 2) think rationally before making any decisions.
I made these brownies, followed the instructions, put them in the pan, then put them in the oven. All was well.
Then I went back and looked at the ingredients list. It listed chocolate frosting.
What??! I DIDN'T PUT ANY FROSTING IN THE BATTER! (Here is where I ignored rule #2)
I then took the brownies out of the oven, poured the batter back in the bowl, made some chocolate frosting really fast, mixed it in with the batter, and put it back in the oven.
Whew! That was a close one! Good thing it had only been in the oven for 5 minutes before I re-read the directions!
Then I made some mint frosting, and a second batch of chocolate frosting. Man, this recipe takes a lot of frosting.
The brownies were supposed to cook for 25 minutes, but they were still liquid at that point. They weren't done until 45 minutes had passed. Strange.
When I told the story to my mother, she thought it was odd that the recipe called for frosting in the batter.
I re-read the recipe.
HAH! IT DIDN'T CALL FOR FROSTING IN THE BATTER!
I didn't follow rule #1 or #2, and for about 10 minutes I was very stressed, and it made me make extra frosting, but in the end the brownies were delicious and sweet so it wasn't all that bad.
