If you love the flavors of mint and chocolate, this is definitely a great recipe for you. The creamy mint frosting is a delicious complement to the chocolaty base.

Ingredients: (Yield: 3½ dozen)

• ½ cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1½ cups chocolate syrup
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 6 mint cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies, chopped

MINT CREAM:

• ½ cup butter, softened
• 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
• 1 tablespoon 2% milk
• ¼ to ½ teaspoon mint extract
• 2 drops green food coloring
• Additional mint cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed

Method:

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in chocolate syrup, then flour, just until blended. Fold in the chopped cookies.

Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean (do not overbake). Cool brownies completely on a wire rack.

For mint cream, in a small bowl, cream the butter and confectioners’ sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the milk, extract and food coloring. Frost brownies; sprinkle with crushed cookies. Cut into squares.
