MInt Brownies

My dad sent me this recipe, it is BYU Mint Brownies. Apparently they sell these in the BYU bakery and at football games (maybe other places on campus, but I'm not sure). I was kind of iffy about these at first, I mean I love brownies, but I'm very picky about mint. To my delight the minty-ness was not too intense and the brownies were super moist and light!

1 c. margarine

1/2 c. cocoa

2 Tbsp. honey

4 eggs

2 c. sugar

1 3/4 c. flour

1/2 Tbsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

12 oz. chocolate icing (Use your own icing recipe or you can buy some pre-made chocolate frosting.)

Mint Icing

5 Tbsp. margarine

dash of salt

3 Tbsp. milk

1 Tbsp. light corn syrup

2 1/3 c. powdered sugar

1/2 tsp. mint extract

1-2 drops green food coloring

1. Melt margarine and mix in cocoa. Allow to cool. 

2. Add honey, eggs, sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

Mint Icing Directions

1. Soften margarine. 

2. Add salt, corn syrup, and powdered sugar. Beat until smooth and fluffy. 

3. Add mint extract and food coloring. Mix.

Spread mint icing over brownies. Place brownies in the freezer for a short time to stiffen the icing. Remove from the freezer and carefully add a layer of chocolate icing.
