A person could strain the leaves if desired. However, leaving the mint leaves in the batter adds depth in the finished brownie.
To use dried mint
Use just 4 teaspoons of dried mint. Strain the dried mint from the milk and butter before proceeding with the rest of the recipe.
Frosting Options
These are a cakey brownie rather than a fudgy one. It can carry a frosting well for added richness and sweetness.
Use the dark chocolate mint frosting from my fresh mint cake.
A fudge frosting will provide richness and creaminess.
Truly, a plain chocolate or even vanilla frosting would work too. Use your favorite.
