Serves: 16+
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ tsp peppermint extract
- 2 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted
- ½ cup flour, optional
- 2 Tbsp butter, softened
- 1 Tbsp cream
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Green food coloring, optional
- 2 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted
- 2 Tbsp butter, melted
- In a bowl, beat the eggs.
- Add the melted butter and sugar.
- Mix in the peppermint and melted chocolate.
- Stir in the flour if you want a brownie layer. (I prefer the flour-less version.)
- Pour the chocolate batter in a greased 9-inch pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. If you do the flour-less version, check after 15 minutes. Don't overbake them because they will set as they cool.
- Cool for at least 30 minutes.
- Blend all of the ingredients well.
- If desired, stir in several drops of green food coloring.
- Spread the mint frosting on the cooled baked chocolate layer.
- Place in the refrigerator to chill for five minutes.
- Mix the melted chocolate and butter well.
- Once the middle mint frosting is firm, spread the butter-chocolate mixture over the top.
- Place in the refrigerator to chill for five minutes.
- Cut the chocolate mint bars into strips or squares, as desired.
- Store the chocolate in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
