I love chocolate. I love brownies. I love mint. That makes this decadent dessert a triple threat! I found this recipe more than 20 years ago. I would tell you where if I could remember!
This 3-layer brownie is yummy, pretty, and festive with its minty green layer in the middle. Perfect for a Christmas gathering! In fact, I made it just last week to take to a Christmas lunch party. When I shared a photo on Facebook someone asked for the recipe, so I decided to share it with you too!
The recipe is below. You can also download this PDF to print!
Brownie Layer (You could use a boxed mix for this layer):
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 can (16 oz) Hershey’s syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
Blend sugar and butter together until creamy. Add eggs and beat. Add flour and salt, mix. Add Hershey’s syrup and vanilla. Pour batter into a greased 9 x 13 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 27 minutes.
Mint Icing Layer:
- 2 Cups Confectioner’s sugar
- ½ tsp peppermint extract
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 2 Tbl milk
- 3-4 drops green food coloring
Mix the 5 ingredients listed above until smooth. Spread over COOLED brownie layer.
Glaze Layer:
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 6 Tbl butter
Mix chocolate and butter and melt in microwave just the minimum time needed to melt. The chocolate will burn easily. Spread over the top of the icing.
Wow, these look amazing! This would be a great recipe to make with my girls. We made Oreo balls for the first time last week and they loved them, and I think this recipe will be next on our Christmas baking list.
Hi Kelly! Let me know how they turn out for you!
