Chocolate Mint Brownies

Brownies:

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups Hershey’s syrup
1 cup flour

Combine ingredients in the listed order. Mix well and bake at 350 degrees for 25 – 30 minutes. A 9×9 pan works well for thick brownies.

Frosting :

1/2 cup butter
2 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon mint extract
1 drop green food coloring

Again, combine ingredients in listed order and beat with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Frost brownies after they have cooled completely.

Chocolate topping:

6 tablespoons butter
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Melt butter and chocolate chips together in a double broiler or in microwave, stirring frequently. Once smoothly melted and combined, pour over the mint-frosted-brownies and allow at least one hour to set.
