One of the best things about this recipe is the brownies get moister if you leave them in the refrigerator a day or two. The problem at our house is no one can leave them alone for that long! My husband—the best auctioneer you've ever heard!—and I have two grown daughters and a son, 14.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 can (16 ounces) chocolate syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • FILLING:
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened

  • 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon butter, cubed

Directions

Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes (top of brownies will still appear wet). Cool on a wire rack.
  • For filling, in a small bowl, cream butter and confectioners' sugar; add the water, extract and food coloring until blended. Spread over cooled brownies. Refrigerate until set.
  • For topping, melt chocolate chips and butter. Cool for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Spread over filling. Chill. Cut into bars. Store in refrigerator. Yield: 5-6 dozen.

I've made these brownies several times, and even served them at my wedding reception. They're always a big hit! My husband loves to freeze them and eat them straight out of the freezer.

I've made these brownies many times, and they ALWAYS turn out great! They're part of our Christmas cookies every year.

I make these using boxed brownie mix and they are so delicious.

Yum! I have made this recipe for so many different occasions and everybody always loves it. I never use mint chocolate chips for the topping, though ? just semi-sweet chocolate chips.

i love this recipe we made it for my sisters bridal shower, next time i will make the chocolate topping without mint, because the filling alone had a strong enough minty taste to it. it was still awesome!

This my fourth time making this recipe. My finance and friend ate half of the batch. I like how it melts in your mouth. I love the mint flavor as well.
