Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13 by 9 inch baking pan with vegetable oil cooking spray. In a double boiler, melt chocolate and butter over simmering water, then cool slightly. In a medium mixing bowl, beat eggs with a whisk until blended, then add sugar and continue whisking until mixture is light and fluffy. Add cooled chocolate mixture, salt, vanilla, and flour. Beat with whisk until all ingredients are thoroughly blended. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 25 minutes. Cool in pan. Filling: With an electric mixer, beat together butter and sugar until well blended. Stir in creme de menthe and blend well. Spread over cooled brownies. Refrigerate in original baking pan until filling is firm. Icing: Melt chocolate chips and butter in double boiler. Stir until smooth. Pour warm glaze over filling. Tilt pan to cover the filling evenly. Refrigerate until chocolate hardens. To cut brownies remove pan from refrigerator and allow brownies to come to room temperature so chocolate will not crack. Cut into 48 brownies. Remove brownies from refrigerator and store them in an air tight container.

 

Notes: These brownies look beautiful and taste delicious. The only way you can really mess up the presentation is if you cut the brownie to early and the chocolate cracks.

 

Number of Servings: Makes 48 brownies
