Mint Brownies

Drue Barker

We love to make these for friends and family- or when I need my chocolate fix! Definitely a crowd pleaser!

1 lb. butter, softened

4 cups sugar

1 cup cocoa

6 eggs

4 tsp. vanilla

3 cups flour

Cream butter and sugar together. Mix in remaining ingredients in order listed. Bake in greased jellyroll pan at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Frosting:

1 cube butter softened

¼ cup evaporated milk

Food coloring (optional)

4 cups powdered sugar

1 tsp. peppermint extract

Mix all together. Frost cooled brownies. Refrigerate brownies before pouring on melted chocolate topping.

Topping:

1 cube butter

1 Tbsp. vanilla

1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Melt butter & chocolate chips. Add vanilla. Pour over cold brownies, tipping the pan to cover evenly.
