Mint Brownies

Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease 9x13 pan.
12 servings - but they would be large servings.

Brownie****
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups Hershey's syrup

Beat until smooth. Pour into prepared pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely.

Mint Cream
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter (butter is much better in this part)
1 Tbsp water
3/4 tsp. peppermint extract
3 drops green food coloring

Beat until smooth. Spread on cooled brownies. Chill.

Chocolate Topping
6 Tbsp margarine (for some reason the marg. just works better for the topping)
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

In a small saucepan, over very low heat, melt margarine and chocolate chips. Remove from heat, stir until smooth. Cool slightly. (just a couple minutes) Pour over the mint cream, cover, and chill.


****I don't ever do the brownie from scratch. Betty Crocker is my friend. I use 3 eggs instead of two when I make the brownies. And, if you are in a rush, just throw the parts in the freezer to chill while you melt the chocolate or whatever, then chill it well at the end.
