Here is the recipe:
Chocolate Thin Mint Brownies
Brownies:
1 1/2 cups melted butter
3/4 cup cocoa
3 cups sugar
6 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
3/4 tsp salt
2 1/4 cups sifted flour
Mint Frosting Layer:
3/4 cup butter, softened
3 Tablespoons milk
3 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
Green food coloring (optional) As you can see I did not add food coloring but I think you can really branch out away from green and use your favorite color, or your child's favorite color. Have fun with it and enjoy.
Chocolate layer:
2 1/4 cups semi-sweet OR milk chocolate chips
3/4 cup butter
Whisk together melted butter and cocoa. Add sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt. Mix well, then stir in flour by hand. Do not over mix. Spread in greased 12x17-inch cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 25-30 min. Cool and then put in the freezer for 20 minutes. For frosting, mix butter, milk, powdered sugar and extract. If you want to add color, add your food coloring (you could also use red food coloring). Frost brownies and then put in freezer for another 20 minutes. Melt chocolate chips and butter in a double boiler (or in the microwave) and spread on top of the frosting layer. Freeze another
For the record in no way these are good for you except on special occasions when calories do not count. Any other time cut them into squares and share with all of your really skinny friends, or co-workers. Okay, okay kind of funny, sort of mean. I am sorry share with everyone or hide them and eat one everyday for a month. Up to you. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
I hope your day is filled with Love and laughter. Be well my friends.
