Andes Mint Brownies

This recipe is absolutely to DIE for! I think it originally came from Pampered Chef. It uses Andes mints and cream cheese so it HAS to be good, right?

Andes Mint Brownies
1 package (19-21 ounces) fudge brownie mix (plus ingredients to make cake-like brownies)
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 drops green food color (optional)
1 package (4.67 ounces) Andes mints (28 pieces), unwrapped, divided
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly spray a 9x13 pan . In a bowl, prepare brownie mix according to package directions for cake-like brownies. Pour batter into baker, spreading evenly. Bake 35-40 minutes or until brownie is set. Do not over-bake. Remove to cooling rack; cool completely.
2. In a bowl, combine cream cheese and powdered sugar; whisk until smooth. Add food color, if desired; mix well. Spread evenly over brownie.
3. Coarsely chop 18 of the chocolate thins; sprinkle over filling. Place remaining 10 chocolate thins in small microwave safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH 20-40 seconds, stirring after each 20-second interval, until melted and smooth. Do not overheat. Drizzle chocolate in a circular pattern over filling. Allow chocolate to set 5 minutes. Cut and serve.
