CHOCOLATE MINT BROWNIES

BROWNIE BASE:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
4 eggs - beaten
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 (16 oz) can Hershey's Syrup
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Bake at 350 degree for 30 minutes in a grease and floured 9x13 pan.

MINT FILLING:
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 Tbsp. milk
1/2 tsp. peppermint extract
Green food coloring
Beat together until smooth and spread on COOLED brownies. Let set - you can speed up the process by placing brownies in refrigerator.

GLAZE:
1 cup chocolate chips
6 Tbsp. butter
Melt and spread quickly over mint filling, working fast so the two don't mix.

Cut after just set - wait too long and the glaze with crack.
