Mint Brownies

Prepare 1 box of brownie mix as directed, adding 1 extra egg to the mixture.  Bake brownies in a greased 9 x 13" pan according to directions.  

Prepare Mint Icing:

5 Tbsp. butter
Dash of salt
3 Tbsp. milk
1 Tbsp. light corn syrup
2 1/3 c. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. mint or peppermint extract
1-2 drops green food coloring

Soften butter. Add salt, corn syrup, and powdered sugar. Beat until smooth and fluffy. Add mint extract and food coloring. Mix. Add milk gradually until the consistency is a little thinner than cake frosting.
Spread mint icing over cooled brownies. Place brownies in the freezer for a short time to stiffen the icing.  Remove from the freezer and carefully add a layer of chocolate icing or glaze.

Glaze:

1/4 c. butter
4 squares chocolate (or 1 3/4 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips)

Melt butter and chocolate in microwave about 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between.  Pour glaze over the mint layer and spread around.  Let set and then cut into squares.

...OR you can put a layer of chocolate icing on top, in place of the glaze.  Use the mint icing recipe, omitting the mint extract and food coloring and adding 1/3 c. cocoa powder.
