Chocolate Mint Dessert Brownies
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups chocolate syrup
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons creme de menthe liqueur
6 tablespoons butter
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking
dish.
In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup of softened
butter until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the
chocolate syrup. Stir in the flour until just blended. Spread the batter
evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until top springs
back when lightly touched. Cool completely in the pan.
In a small bowl, beat the confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup butter or
margarine and creme de menthe until smooth. Spread evenly over the
cooled brownies, then chill until set.
In a small bowl over simmering water, or in the microwave, melt the
remaining 6 tablespoons of butter and the chocolate chips, stirring
occasionally until smooth. Allow to cool slightly, then spread over the
top of the mint layer. Cover, and chill for at least 1 hour before
cutting into squares. Makes 24 servings |
