• 2 tablespoons evaporated milk
• green food coloring (optional)
• 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Spray a 9x13 inch pan with non-stick spray (I think the kind with flour works best).

4. Add eggs, flour, vanilla and salt. Blend well.
5. Pour batter into pan and bake for 20 minutes.
6. Allow to cool, then move pan to freezer.
7. In a medium bowl, combine powdered sugar, 4 1/2 tablespoons butter, peppermint extract, evaporated milk and food coloring.
8. In a separate bowl or saucepan, melt the 6 ounces of chocolate chips.
9. Remove brownies from freezer. Spread mint filling over frozen brownies evenly.
10. Immediately pour chocolate over filling. Tip pan to coat evenly. Let set 15 minutes.
11. Cut into small squares.
12. Store bars in refrigerator or freezer until ready to eat.
