CREME DE MENTHE BARS



Creme de Menthe Bars image

his is a very easy recipe. My son won a purple ribbon (which is higher than a blue ribbon) at the county fair when he was 10 years old. This was also his first paid 'catering' job for a graduation party when he was 12 (he's married now, so that gives you a clue as to how long I've had this recipe). Great brownies with a mint flavored filling.

CREME DE MENTHE BROWNIES



Creme De Menthe Brownies image

First had these from a neighbor years ago, but I lost the recipe. I think this replicates it nicely. Creme De Menthe is a creamy, minty liqueur that's often used to make beverages and desserts. You can find it at most liquor stores. You can purchase clear or green Creme De Menthe, of course to get this fabulous green color in the minty layer I would highly suggest you get the green version. You use very little of the liqueur in this recipe, but the bottle will last a lifetime, it is fairly inexpensive. Maybe $6 a bottle. The brownie part is very rich and dense.

CREME DE MENTHE BROWNIE SQUARES



Creme De Menthe Brownie Squares image

These rich three-layer brownie bites have a brownie base, a creamy mint filling, and a rich chocolate glaze. They freeze perfectly, so I always make them well in advance of the important occasion. NOTE: In fall 2008, Starbucks started offering these brownie squares in our area, so you know it is a popular flavor combination!

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 1h29m

Yield 48 squares, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (20 ounce) package Pillsbury Fudge Brownie Mix, 9x13 size
4 tablespoons butter, softened
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons green creme de menthe (or 1 t. mint extract and a couple drops of green food coloring)
6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • BROWNIES: Grease bottom only of 13x9-inch pan. Make and bake brownies according to package directions. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Cool completely (it cannot be frosted until there is no warmth on the bottom of the pan or the frosting will slide around.
  • MINT FROSTING: In medium bowl, beat butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add remaining filling ingredients; beat until smooth. Spread evenly over cooled brownies. Refrigerate until hard (approximately 30 minutes).
  • GLAZE: In small saucepan, melt butter. Then turn off heat and stir in chips, stirring until completely smooth. Pour frosting evenly over filling; spread carefully to cover. I like to run a serrated knife across the top to give it a pattern.
  • Refrigerate 1 hour before cutting into bars but don't let the chocolate topping harden too much or it will crack when you cut it. Store in refrigerator (they also freeze beautifully).

Tips:

  • Let the brownies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • If you don't have creme de menthe, you can use another type of mint liqueur, such as peppermint schnapps.
  • You can also add other ingredients to your brownies, such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit.
