Chocolate Creme de Menthe* Squares
This week, Swedish Chef has chosen a bar cookie that would be excellent to serve or take to a holiday party. This recipe is easy and festive looking. The combination of chocolate and mint is a big hit. I hope you will try this for your next holiday gathering!
FIRST LAYER:
Mix the following ingredients in the order given:
4 eggs, well beaten
½ c. butter, melted
1 c. granulated sugar
1 t. vanilla
1 c. flour
½ t. salt
16oz. Hershey's syrup
Add each ingredient and mix well.
Pour mixture into a greased 9x13 baking pan.
Bake at 350º for 30 minutes.
MINT LAYER:
2 c. confectioners sugar
½ c. softened butter
2 t. Creme de Menthe*
*If you prefer not to use Creme de Menthe, substitute ½ t. pure mint extract and 2 drops of green food coloring*
Mix well and spread over cooled first layer.
GLAZE:
6 oz. Nestlé Toll House chocolate chips
6 T. butter
Melt ingredients over low heat (or in microwave oven) and spread over mint layer.
