Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day {Creme de Menthe Brownies}

I have shared these Creme de Menthe Brownies countless times but I can’t resist another post on them. They are that good. They are John’s favorite dessert and are a labor of love. Each layer is prepared separately from scratch, but my family loves them just as much as I did the first time I had them in college. They are a true treat here!

Creme de Menthe Brownies

Brownie layer:
½ cup butter , softened
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 cup flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 (16 ounce) can chocolate syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mint layer:
¼ cup butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons creme de menthe liquor

Chocolate layer:
6 ounces chocolate chips
¼ cup butter

Directions:

1. Cream butter, add sugar; beat until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beat well after each addition. Add remaining brownie ingredients and mix well. Pour into greased 13×9 baking pan. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes, cool completely.

2. Cream 1/4 cup butter in small bowl. Gradually add powdered sugar and creme de menthe, mix well. Spread over cooled brownies. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

3. Combine chocolate chips and butter in small pan. Slowly melt on low heat, stirring until smooth. Spread over brownies. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

4. Cut into squares and enjoy.

In case you were looking too, I found the shamrocks this year at Publix! I always buy them for our St. Patrick’s Day table and then plant them in pots for the rest of the season.

Slainte!

Tony’s Town Square Restaurant in Disney’s Magic Kingdom

Inside, Disney’s 1955 animated classic, Lady and the Tramp, plays in the background while pictures of… Read More
