Mint Brownies

These are so good. It is made so that it will taste like an Andes mint. Very simple and the kids love them.

For the brownie mix:
2 cubes of butter softened
1/3 c. cocoa
4 eggs
1 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
2 c. sugar

Mix all together in a mixer and cook at 350 for 30 min. Let it cool completely.


Mint frosting:
2 c. powder sugar
1/2 c. butter
3 tbls creme de' mint

The cream de' mint is a liquor. I had to buy it at the liquor store because I could not find it at a regular store. I put the 3 tbls of it in a bowl and put it in the microwave to burn off the alcohol. It worked great and tasted so much better then the mint extract. I tried it with mint extract and it was not good at all.

The last part is 1 c. chocolate chips melted with 6 tbls butter and you spread it on the top of the mint frosting. If you want you can also sprinkle andes mints chopped up on the top.
