Grasshopper Brownies

Brownies

2 boxes brownie mix

Mint Frosting

4 cups powdered sugar
1 cup soft butter
2 Tbsp water
1 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
4 drops green (or red) food coloring

Chocolate Topping

12 oz. semi sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup butter

1) To make the brownies, follow the recipe for "cake-like" brownies. Or if there isn't one, add 3 more eggs. Pour into a large, greased cookie sheet. Bake and let cool completely.

2) To make the mint frosting, combine powered sugar, butter, water, peppermint extract and food coloring. Mix. Spread over cooled brownies and refrigerate until hard on top.

3) To make chocolate topping, microwave chocolate chips and butter for 2 minutes. Stir until all chocolate chips are melted and the mixture is smooth. Add 1-2 tsp peppermint extract. As soon as the mixture thickens and is not longer hot, spread over mint topping on brownies. Put back into the refrigerator until hard.
