Chocolate Mint Brownies

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup butter or margarine, softened
• ½ tsp salt
• 4 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 can 16 ounces chocolate-flavored syrup
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 cup filling confectioners' sugar
• ½ cup filling butter or margarine, softened
• 1 tbsp filling water
• ½ tsp filling mint extract
• 3 drop filling green food coloring
• 1 pkg topping; 10 ounces mint chocolate chips
• 9 tbsp topping butter or margarine

Method

1. Combine the first seven ingredients (flour, butter, salt, eggs, vanilla, chocolate syrup, sugar) in a large mixing bowl; beat at medium speed for 3 minutes. Pour the batter into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes (the top of the brownies will still appear wet). Cool completely.
2. Combine the filling ingredients in a medium mixing bowl; beat until creamy. Spread over the cooled brownies. Refrigerate until set.
3. For topping, melt the chocolate chips and butter over low heat in a small saucepan. Let cool for 30 minutes or until lukewarm, stirring occasionally. Spread over the filling. Chill before cutting. Store in the refrigerator.
