Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened for filling)
- 3 tablespoons crème de menthe liqueur
- 1 drop green food coloring (optional)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for topping)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt 8 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1.5 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips over low heat, stirring frequently, until smooth. Remove from heat.
Step 3
Stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar until fully incorporated, then mix in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Step 4
Add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the chocolate mixture, stirring just until combined.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth it into an even layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let it cool completely in the pan.
Step 6
To make the mint filling, beat 2 cups of powdered sugar and 8 tablespoons of softened butter together in a large bowl until creamy. Add 3 tablespoons of crème de menthe liqueur and 1 drop of green food coloring (if desired) and continue mixing until smooth.
Step 7
Spread the mint filling evenly over the cooled brownie layer. Place the pan in the refrigerator to allow the filling to set for at least 30 minutes.
Step 8
For the chocolate topping, melt 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter together in a small saucepan or microwave until smooth, stirring frequently.
Step 9
Pour the melted chocolate over the chilled mint layer and spread it evenly with an offset spatula. Refrigerate the bars again until the chocolate topping is firm, about 30 minutes.
Step 10
Using a sharp knife, cut the bars into 16 squares or desired serving sizes. For cleaner slices, rinse the knife with warm water and wipe it clean between cuts.
Step 11
Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy your Crème De Menthe Bars!
