The Best Mint Brownies Ever!

*** My roommate made these for a baby shower and they were gone in 60 seconds!

Batter:

1 C butter
4 eggs
2 C sugar
2 t vanilla
1/2 t salt
1/2 C cocoa powder
1 and 1/2 C flour
** (it will be really thick)

Bake this in a greased 9x13 pan at 350 degrees for 30 minutes

Let brownies cool

Then frost!

Mint frosting first:

3 C powdered sugar
6 T butter
2 t mint/peppermint extract
3 T milk
food coloring (green or red)

Then put chocolate frosting on last:
1. Melt 3 oz semi sweeet baking chocolate or chips
2. Melt 3 T butter

Stir together and spread on top of the mint frosting. This will harden on the top.
