BROWNIE LAYER
1/2 c Butter or margarine

2 Eggs
1 t Vanilla
2 1-oz Squares unsweetened
Chocolate
1/2 c Finely chopped pecans
1/2 c Flour -- sifted

1 1/2 c Powdered sugar
3 tb Evaporated milk

BROWNIE LAYER: Cream soft butter with sugar. Add eggs
one at a time and mix until creamy. Stir in vanilla
and nuts. Gradually stir in flour; being careful
not to overmix.

In microwave, melt chocolate 2-3 minutes in small
glass measuring cup, stirring after 1 1/2 minutes.
Stir chocolate into batter evenly. Pour batter into
greased 8-inch square casserole. Spread evenly. Cook
7-8 minutes on high, rotating after 3 minutes. Allow
to cool.

MINT LAYER: Cream butter and sugar. Add milk and blend
until creamy. Add flavoring and enough color to be
light green. Carefully spread over cooled
brownies, evenly. Allow mint layer to "firm up" before
adding chocolate layer.
CHOCOLATE LAYER: Melt in glass measure cup for 2-3
minutes. Stir after 1 minute. Allow to cool and spread
over firm mint layer. Spread carefully so mint and
brownie layers are not disturbed. allow to stand
several hours. Cut
into squares to serve.

I usually bake a 9 X 13 pan of brownies from a mix!
Double the mint and chocolate icing recipes. This is a
very popular brownie! Wonderful for St. Pat's and
Christmas parties.... and just about anytime!
