ZCMI Mint Brownies

For St. Patrick's Day I made ZCMI mint brownies. Well not exactly following the recipe. I used 2 pouches of Ghirardelli triple chocolate brownie mix as the base. The mix is found at Costco and Smart & Final. I made the brownies in a 9 x 13 pan according to the directions. Let them cool. Then I made the filling, doubling the recipe. Put in the fridge to set. Then the tripled the glaze. YUMMMMMM!

Peppermint Filling

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 1/2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
2 to 3 drops of green food coloring (optional)

Sift powdered sugar. Add melted butter, and milk. Mix thoroughly. Add peppermint extract. Add green food coloring, mix until color is uniform. Spread on top of brownie base. Put in fridge to set, about 20 minutes.

Chocolate Glaze

1 1/2 ounces semisweet chocolate
1 1/2 tablespoons butter

Melt chocolate and butter together. Stir to combine. Pour over filling. Then eat!
