Chocolate Mint Brownies

I got this recipe from my friend Ashley's mom when we were in high school. It's super tasty!

Brownie:

(I cheated, I used a brownie mix and made it to a cake like consistency)
2 cups Vegetable Oil

4 cups White Sugar
1 1/3 cups Coco

2 cups Chopped Walnuts (I always omit these because I don't like them.)

8 Eggs

2 teaspoons Salt

4 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

3 cups Flour

Mix together and bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes.

Mint Frosting:

6 cups (or less) Powdered/Confectioners Sugar

6 Tablespoons of butter or margarine

6 Tablespoons condensed milk (I use sweetened condensed milk)

2 teaspoons Peppermint Extract

Green Food Coloring to liking

Combine butter and milk until smooth, add powder sugar until you have a smooth frosting like consistency. Mix in peppermint extract and food coloring until it is a nice mint green color. Spread over slightly cooled brownies.

Let this sit until frosting is hard to the touch. You can even pop it in the freezer for about an hour.

Chocolate Topping:

10 Tablespoons Butter

12 oz Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips

(I cheated again and used a can of chocolate frosting that I whipped and stuck in the microwave for a few seconds.)

Melt butter and chocolate chips together and stir until smooth. Spread over mint layer while still warm.

Let brownies sit over night or freeze for another day.

Brownie without Chocolate topping:

Brownie with Chocolate Topping:

Cookie Dough Brownies

Jen and I used to make the cookie dough part of these when we were in college as the perfect movie snack.



I know there is an actual recipe for the brownies, but I made a box of brownies making them cakelike instead of fudge like.

Topping:

1/2 cup Butter
1/4 cup Brown Sugar
1/4 cup White Sugar
3 Tablespoons of Milk
1 Teaspoon of Vanilla
1 cup flour
Chocolate Chips

Cream butter and suggars, beat milk and vanilla in. Add flour until dough like. Fold in chocolate chips.

Add topping to the top of cool brownies. Refidgerate until served.

Enjoy!
