Truffle Fudge Mint Brownies

 Here's a great St. Patty's Day treat for you chocolate lovers!  It was even created by my cousin (okay...so we're technically 2nd or 3rd cousins or something or other, but it's easier to just say cousin :)  Note:  It's much less messy if you bake the brownies and refrigerate a few hours or even overnight.  Enjoy!!
