CHOCOLATE NITE- Chocolate Mint Brownies Recipe

Chocolate Mint Brownies

Becky B.

I use my mom's Texas sheet cake recipe for this, but you can use any brownies--just cut the mint frosting and the chocolate topping recipes inhalf if you do.

TEXAS SHEET CAKE

In large bowl mix:

2 cups sugar

2 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

In small saucepan, bring to boil:

1 cup butter

1 cup water

1/4 cup cocoa powder

When the butter melts, add immediately to dry ingredients. Blend.

Then add:

1/2 cup sour cream (I use fat free)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon soda

Blend well.

Pour into greased and floured jelly roll pan.

Bake at 375 for 12 to 15 minutes. Do not over bake.

Cool. Spread with mint cream, then with a chocolate truffle topping.

Chill for about an hour.

MINT CREAM LAYER

4 cups powdered sugar

1 cup soft butter

2 tablespoons water

1 teaspoon peppermint extract

6 drops green food coloring

Beat until smooth.

CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE TOPPING

12 tablespoons butter

2 cups chocolate chips

Melt in microwave for 1 1/2 minutes; stir until smooth.

heat it a little more.
