Hershey’s Mint Brownies

Hershey’s Mint Brownies Brownies: 1/4 cup butter softened 1 cup granulated sugar 4 eggs 1 1/2 cup Hershey’s chocolate syrup (16 oz. can) 1 cup all-purpose flour Mint creme layer: 2 cups confectioner’s sugar 1/2 cup butter softened 1 T. water 1/2 tsp. peppermint extract 3 drops of green food coloring Chocolate topping layer: 1 cup dark chocolate chips 6 T. of butter 1/2 tsp. mint extract (optional) Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Spray or grease a 9 X 13 in. pan. Cream butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl, then add eggs and mix well. Add chocolate syrup and flour and beat well. Bake for 25-30 minutes. While the brownies are baking make the mint creme. Beat together confectioners sugar, soft butter, peppermint extract, and water until creamy and smooth. When brownies are done let them cool completely. After cooled spread the mint cream mixture on top careful not to tear the brownies. Refrigerate the brownies for about 15 minutes. After brownies chill make the chocolate glaze top. Melt the butter and chocolate chips together in the microwave stirring often until the mixture is smooth. If desired add additional 1/2 tsp. mint extract and stir well. Spread the chocolate glaze over the top of the brownies and smooth to the sides. Put the brownies back into the refrigerator to chill and the chocolate has set. Slice into 24 brownies. Tip: Wipe the blade of the knife after each cut so the brownies have a cleaner appearance. Also you may heat the blade of the knife up with a hot cup of water and drying off before cutting to help cut through the cool brownies
