Mint Brownies

This is actually Lauralee's recipe. But I don't think she is going to get around to posting it any time soon. So I will do it for her. :) I have made these a few times for some firesides and such and everyone says they are the best mint brownie they have ever had. Even people who don't like mint have loved these. Hopefully you will too.

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup butter
2 squares unsweetened chocolate (Bakers)
Melt these 2 ingredients together in the microwave.

ADD:
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp peppermint flavor
Beat well

ADD:
1/2 cup flour
1/8 tsp salt
mix well

Place in an 8x8 pan and bake at 350 for 25 minutes or less - do not overbake. Allow to cool before frosting. You can put it in the feezer to help speed the process.

FROSTING
2 Tbsp softened butter
1 Tbsp milk
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp peppermint flavoring
green food coloring (I have made it without this and it just doesn't taste the same. Something about the green color that makes the mint that much better. :)
Mix well. Spread over baked, cooled brownies. Allow to stand until firm (or put in freezer).

GLAZE
1 square semi-seet chocolate (Bakers)
1 Tbsp. butter
Melt together and spread or drizzle over cooled frosted layer. Put in freezer until firm.

Remove from freezer about 15 minutes before you need to cut them so they'll be easier to cut. You can cut into triangles to make them look cute.

***This recipe makes an 8x8 size pan; double it for a 9x13; triple for a cookie sheet.
