Hershey's Double Chocolate Mint Dessert

By request, here is the recipe for heart stopping mint brownies! When you see how much butter and eggs are in it, you'll see why! Julia would love this recipe!

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups (16 oz can) Hershey's Syrup

Heat oven to 350. Grease 13x9 inch pan. In large mixer bowl beat flour, sugar, butter, eggs and syrup untio smooth. Pour into pan and bake 25-30 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. (Top may still appear wet). Cool completely in pan. Spread Mint Cream Layer on cake (see below), chill. Pour Chocolate Topping over dessert (see below). Cover, chill.

Mint Cream Layer:
In small mixer bowl combine 2 cups powdered sugar, 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened,
1 Tbsp water, 1/2 tsp mint extract and 3 drops green food color; beat until smooth.

Chocolate Topping:
In small micro-proof bowl melt 6 Tbsp butter or margarine and add 1 cup Hershey's Mint Chocolate chips or regular chocolate chips at high for 1 to 1.5 minutes or just until chips are melted and mixture is smooth when stirred.
