This recipe is made in stages, so it can be started (make the brownie base, bake and cool) then make the frosting later in the day, chill and then make the chocolate top, chill and cut. After the top has chilled, I cut the brownies into small bars (like petit fours) layer them on wax paper in a freezer container and freeze. These are best when slightly defrosted.
Brownie base:
13X17"pan
Cream butter, gradually add sugar, beating until light & fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well. Combine flour and salt; add to creamed mixture alternating with chocolate syrup, beginning & ending with flour. Stir in vanilla. Pour into greased 13" X 17" bar pan. Bake at 350 for approx. 40 min. check. Testor should come out clean. (edges will begin to pull away from side of pan while cooling). Cool well before frosting.
Mint Frosting:
6 Tablespoons(? stick)butter
4-6 Tablespoons Cr?me de Menthe
15 -20 drops Oil of Peppermint
3 cups of Confectioners Sugar
Cream butter, add Creme de Menthe & Oil of Peppermint, (available at drug store from pharmacist or Parties, Cakes &Things). Gradually add powdered sugar ( if sugar is lumpy sift first) (I add more flavoring to make them more minty - taste as you go). Mix well, adjusting sugar & Creme de Menthe to suit consistency and taste. Spread evenly over cooled brownies. Chill until firm. (May be put in freezer)
Chocolate Top:
6 Tablespoons (? stick butter)
12 oz. chocolate chips
Combine butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips in top of double boiler or in microwave safe bowl. Stir until melted & smooth. Spread over cold mint layer and Chill. Cut into squares. ( Cutting before they are completely frozen keeps the chocolate top from cracking ) (Dipping your knife in hot water as you slice makes cutting neater). These freeze well between waxed paper layers.
