Isabelle's Crème de Menthe Brownies

Ingredients

    Brownies
  • 1½ cups (3 sticks) butter
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 5 eggs
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
    • Mint Layer
  • 4 cups confectioner's sugar
  • 4 tablespoons crème de menthe
  • ½ cup melted butter
    • Glaze
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 6 teaspoons butter

Directions

Brownies
Melt butter. Stir in sugar and vanilla. Add eggs. Add rest of ingredients. Pour into 13x9 pan (greased on bottom). Put into preheated 350° oven. Bake for 40-55 minutes (until toothpick inserted in middle of pan comes out clean). Cool completely before adding mint layer.
Mint Layer
Melt butter. Add confectioner's sugar and crème de menthe. Mix until smooth and spreadable. You may need to add more crème de menthe to achieve a spreadable consistency. Spread on brownies.
Glaze
Melt together butter and chocolate chips. Cool for about 5 minutes, then pour over brownies. Tilt pan back and forth to spread glaze evenly over pan. Chill 20 minutes, or until glaze is no longer shiny.
