Equipment

  • 1 Mixer
  • 2 bowls, medium sized 1 for mint filling, 1 for chocolate frosting
  • 1 set of measuring utensils
  • 1 15x10 baking pan
  • 1 spatula/spoon for mixing

Ingredients
  

Brownie 'Crust'

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/3 cups chocolate spyrup
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 eggs

Mint Filling

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp peppermint extract
  • 2-3 drops green food coloring amount of food coloring will vary by brand and depth of green you desire.

Chocolate Frosting

  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1-1/2 cups chocolate chips milk chocolate or semi-sweet. (semi-sweet leaves a harder chocolate topping, but still works fine)

Instructions
 

The Brownie 'Crust'

  • Grease a 15x20 baking pan, set aside. Preheat oven to 325 F
  • In a mixing bowl, cream the sugar & softened butter. Add eggs, chocolate syrup, flour and baking powder. Mix well.
  • Put mixture into the greased baking pan. Bake at 325 F for 17-20 minutes (no longer then 20 minutes, they may not look done but they are!). Set aside.

Mint Filling

  • Melt butter on medium heat in medium sized pan. Add the peppermint extract and food coloring. Remove from heat and slowly mix the powdered sugar and milk in the frosting. Add more milk/powdered sugar if needed to get the consistency to spread easily on brownies.
  • Refrigerate until firm, about 25-30 minutes (put in freezer for faster results)

Chocolate Frosting

  • Melt butter and chocolate chips together. Stir well. Pour over cool brownies & filling.
  • Cool slightly, 5-10 minutes. Then cut into squares. Return to refrigerator until hard. Enjoy!
  • These can stay in freezer until ready to eat (will last weeks).

Notes

Notes:
Store brownies in airtight container in fridge for up to 7 days or freezer up to 3 months.
Make sure to use peppermint extract, not mint extract.
