BYU Mint Brownies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup margarine
- 1/2 c. cocoa
- 2 T. honey
- 4 eggs
- 2 c. sugar
- 1 3/4 c. flour
- 1 T. baking powder
- 1/2 t. salt
- 1 c. chopped walnuts (I left these out)
- 12 oz. chocolate icing (I used my favorite butter cream frosting(from my mother-in-law) w/a couple T of cocoa added, I'll include the recipe at the end of this post)
Mint Icing
Ingredients:
- 5 T. margarine
- dash of salt
- 3 T. milk
- 1 T. light corn syrup
- 2 1/3 c. powdered sugar
- 1/2 t. mint extract
- 1-2 drops green food coloring (I used 2)
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.
Butter Cream Frosting
- 1 lb. powdered sugar
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 cube margarine (softened)
- 1/4 c. evaporated milk
- 1 1/2 t. vanilla
Directions: Beat margarine until soft and creamy. Add powdered sugar and salt, mix. Add milk a little at a time so it doesn't get too thin. If necessary, add a little more milk to thin or powdered sugar to thicken. Add vanilla.
*I added 2-3 T of cocoa to the powdered sugar before mixing it with the margarine.
Wow! Those look yummy!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try those. My parents will be excited, as BYU alumni. Thanks!
