Andes Chocolate Mint Pancakes
These Andes Chocolate Mint Pancakes are the most decadent pancake experience ever! They are perfectly fluffy, chocolatey, minty and loaded with Andes Mint Chips.
Top them with chocolate syrup for a chocolate lover’s dream come true! These are just in time for your holiday brunch and can easily be made into fun Christmas shapes using cookie cutters!
I bought a bag of Andes Mint Chips thinking that I would make some cookies with them. However, my inspiration brought me in 2 different directions.
Stay tuned on Saturated Saturday for Baileys Mint Hot Chocolate as well (what the yum)! I just love Andes Mints so much…they are really addictive and dangerous. They are probably one of the reasons I like going to the Olive Garden…LOL. For some reason, my mind is drifting to the movie, “Monty Python’s Meaning of Life” where the man eats his butt off and explodes after the waiter insists on giving him an after dinner mint. Good stuff indeed. Yes, I’m a bit of a movie dork. More mints please!
Pancake Sunday continues to be a tradition at my house. However, my picky daughters won’t deviate from blueberry pancakes! I can’t say I blame them, but I love experimenting with different flavors. I just love the cakey fluffy goodness and all the different sauce combinations.
I have to say that chocolate and mint is one of my new favorites. I really had fun making different Christmas shapes using cookie cutters. It is such an easy, fun way to make them more festive for the holidays and great for the kids!
