Equipment
- 9x13 inch baking dish
Ingredients
- - 1 cup white sugar
- - ½ cup butter softened
- - 4 eggs
- - 1 ½ cups chocolate syrup
- - 1 cup all-purpose flour
- - 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- - ½ cup butter softened
- - 2 tablespoons creme de menthe liqueur
- - 6 tablespoons butter
- - 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the 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 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 the top springs back when lightly touched. Cool completely in the pan.
- In a small bowl, beat the confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup softened butter, 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.
Notes
- Ensure the brownies are completely cooled before spreading the mint filling to prevent it from melting.
- For a non-alcoholic version, you can omit the creme de menthe liqueur or replace it with mint extract for flavor.
