Chocolate Mint Brownies

Ok. Confession time. I love chocolate. All kinds of chocolate. But hey, since we’ve been friends for a while, you probably already know that.

When I was in college, a girl in the apartment upstairs used to make mint brownies whenever we got a little homesick.

It’s no wonder why these delicious treats are synonymous with comfort to my little heart.

Like I mentioned earlier this week, we’ve got dye restrictions at our house. So our mint brownies are still amazing.

Like, uh-MAZE-ing. But they are dye free! The absence of green dye doesn’t make them any less delicious.

Ingredients

• ½ cup butter, softened

• 4 eggs
• 1 ¼ cups Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup
• 1 cup flour
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 1/2 Tsp Mint extract
• 6 TBSP Butter
• 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease 9x13 baking dish.
2. In large bowl, cream sugar and 1/2 cup butter until smooth.
3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in chocolate syrup.
4. Stir in flour until just blended. Spread evenly into greased baking dish.
5. Bake for 35 - 40 minutes.
6. Cool completely in pan.

9. In microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and butter, mixing at regular intervals, until smooth.
10. Allow to cool slightly, then spread over mint layer.
11. Cover and chill for at least one hour before cutting.

The brownie is rich and dense, yet still moist and fluffy. I don’t know, but it could be the cup of Hershey’s chocolate syrup! Or it could be the 3 sticks of butter. I dunno.

The thick layer of chocolate layered on top of creamy mint. Oh my heavens. Seriously, you’ll be in heaven.

You can bake up a pan to share with friends or just curl up with Netflix and a fork. And a glass of milk. You don’t want to forget that.
