Don't worry if you don't have any creme de menthe on hand, I've never used it in this recipe and it turns out great each time. :)
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter ( 1 stick)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2/3 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
Directions for brownie layer
In a saucepan, or double boiler melt chocolate chips and butter over low heat.
Add sugar, eggs, and vanilla, stirring well after each addition.
In separate bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking soda.
Add flour mixture to chocolate mixture, stirring well. ( at this point you may add 3/4 cup chocolate chips to batter, but I prefer it without)
Pour into a foil-lined, greased 9 by 13 pan
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 min.
Ingredients for mint layer
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons creme de menthe or 1 tablespoons mint extract
Directions
Beat first butter and cream cheese in mixing bowl, then add powdered sugar and mint extract
Spread mint filling over cooled brownies
Ingredients for chocolate ganache
1/2 cup whipping cream
2 1/2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Bring whipping cream to boiling over medium high heat
Remove from heat and add chocolate chips -do not stir
Let stand for five min. and then stir until smooth
Let cool and then spread over the mint layer, this is the final layer
I usually put the brownies in the freezer for about thirty min. before attempting to peel off the foil or cut the brownies. I hope you enjoy them! I've made then quite a few times, and it's one of our favorites. I got it out of a Better Homes and Gardens magazine. ~Kelsey
