Minty Holidays

Start the fattening holidays off right with this recipe:
Mint Meltaway Brownies

1. Bake a recipe of store bought packaged brownies in a 9x13 pan 2 minutes less than the packaged instructions.
Cool completely - preferably overnight.

2. Mint frosting:
6 T. butter melted
4 T. evaporated milk
2 c. powdered sugar
1 1/2 t. pure peppermint extract
dash green food coloring

Mix frosting and spread over cold brownies.
Place in freezer at least 2 hours

3. Chocolate topping:
6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
4 T. butter
Melt butter in microwave. Stir in chocolate chips. If not totally melted, microwave for 10-20 seconds more. Don't overcook. Restir. Spread over mint layer and put in freezer for ~ 10 mins.
Keep uneaten brownies in freezer.

Here's a better plan:

1. Call Sara_.
2. Confirm she's making minty brownies.
3. Show up at her door with an empty plate and say, "Mmmm....minty brownies!"

You lost me at mint. Mint is sicksicksick. ;) But, speaking of the Fattening Holidays, I had someone deliver (from Germany) the first of 3 or so packages from my mom with gifts and...TONS of German chocolate. The first package was easily weighing 20 lbs or so. Let the fattening begin. :)

Are these the Sis. Fernsten brownies? Yum. I don't know what Fran is talking about. You'll have to excuse her. Mint is yumyumyum.
