2. Prepare Mint Mousse: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of chopped mints in the microwave. Meanwhile, in a double boiler over boiling water, whisk the egg yolks until they become pale and frothy. Slowly whisk in the melted mints, being careful not to use your fingers to scrape the cup. The mixture will stiffen.

3. Whip Egg Whites: Quickly whip the egg whites to semi-stiff peaks, then slowly fold them into the mint mixture. Next, whip the heavy cream until thick and fold it into the mint and egg mixture. Set aside 1/4 of the mint mousse for later use.

4. Assemble Pie: Spread the remaining 3/4 of the mint mousse over the cooled brownie, carefully leveling it smooth. Chill the pie for one hour.

5. Prepare Chocolate Sauce: After chilling, melt 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1/4 cup of half-and-half. Whisk until smooth, then pour the chocolate sauce over the mint mousse layer. Allow the chocolate to cool.

6. Decorate: Once cooled, decorate the top of the pie with unwrapped whole mints. Add 10 dollops of the reserved mint mousse on top. Chill the pie well.

7. Chocolate Coating: Melt the remaining 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Remove the sides of the pan, then brush the melted chocolate onto the sides of the pie. Gently press 3/4 cup of chopped Andes or After Eight Mints onto the chocolate coating. Sprinkle the remaining chopped mints on top.

8. Serve: Slice and serve the Andes Brownie-Mint Pie, enjoying the decadent layers of chocolate and mint flavors.
