Copycat BYU Mint Brownies

From the Fall 2003 issue of the Y magazine


Ingredients:

1 cup margarine

1/2 cup cocoa

2 Tbsp. honey

4 eggs

2 cup sugar

1 3/4 cups flour

1/2 Tbsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

12 oz. chocolate icing (Use your own icing recipe or purchase some 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


Directions :

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. 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. 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.
