Recipe: Chocolate Mint Brownies

Unfortunately (for my hips), I am the only person in my family that likes mint, however, these brownies are so incredibly good, I have to make them occasionally regardless of the fact that I have to eat the entire pan. If you are a mint person, give these a try – they are truly incredible!

Chocolate Mint Brownies

Ingredients

For the brownies:

1 cup All-Purpose flour

1/2 cup soft butter

1/2 t salt

4 eggs

1 t. vanilla

1 can (16 oz) Hershey’s syrup

1 cup sugar

For the mint filling:

2 cups confectioners sugar

1/2 cup soft butter

1 T. water

1/2 t. mint extract

3 drops green food coloring

For the topping:

1 10 oz package mint chocolate chips

9 T butter

Combine brownie ingredients in a bowl, mix for 3 minutes on medium speed. Pour into greased 13 x 9 pan and cook at 350 for 30 minutes. Cool completely.

**I usually like my brownies rather underdone – but this is not the recipe to do that with. Must have a good foundation for the rich goodies on top!

Filling: Combine filling ingredients and beat until nice and creamy. Spread filling evenly on top of cooked brownies. Refrigerate until set.

Topping: Melt chocolate chips and butter in the microwave – let cool until lukewarm. Spread the topping over the filling evenly. Refrigerate again until set, and store in the refrigerator.

**These brownies are so rich, that you really don’t need much more than a 1″ x 1″ piece – a 9 x 13 pan will absolutely feed a ton of people (or me, if your family is like mine ).
