BYU Mint Brownies!

Normally, I do not care for mint-flavored treats. But I remember that these brownies were quite good :) I intend to make them this week for St. Patrick's Day

BYU MINT BROWNIES

Yields one 9 x 13 pan of brownies
1 c. margarine
1/2 c. cocoa
2 Tbsp. honey
4 eggs
2 c. sugar
1 3/4 c. flour
1/2 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

1 c. chopped walnuts = um, no. Who in their right mind destroys a brownie with nuts anyways?
12 oz. chocolate icing (Use your own recipe or purchase chocolate frosting)

MINT ICING
5 Tbsp. margarine
dash of salt
3 Tbsp. milk
1 Tbsp. light corn syrup
2 1/3 c. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. mint extract
1-2 drops green food coloring

1. Melt margarine and mix in cocoa. Allow to cool. Add honey, eggs, sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well {add nuts}. Pour batter into a greased 9-by-13 baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Cool.

2. Prepare mint icing: Soften margarine. 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.

3. Spread mint icing over 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.

  1. So did you do this one?? I have a similar recipe but the mint frosting I made was WAY too minty - it was like sugary toothpaste. Ugh.

  2. No, I have not made it yet, lol. I meant to make them for St. Patrick's Day but instead, we went to the Temple and to Mom & Dad's. But I'll make them soon. Kinda funny that the all the recipes I've placed on our blog are ones I have not made yet. But I plan to! :)
