Creme de Menthe Bars

I enjoy making these Creme de Menthe bars for St. Patrick's Day. They are a family favorite.

Grease and flour a 9x13 baking pan.

Brownie Layer:

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter (1 stick)

4 eggs

1 cup flour

1/2 tsp salt

16 oz Hershey's Chocolate Syrup 

1 tsp vanilla

Creme de Menthe Layer:

2 cups powdered sugar

1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened

3 TBS Green Creme de Menthe liquor

Frosting:

12 oz bag semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup butter (1 stick)

Cream together the sugar, butter and eggs.  Mix together flour and salt.  Add to creamed mixture. Then add the chocolate syrup and vanilla.  Stir to combine.

Pour into prepared 9x13 pan.  Bake 30 minutes at 350F.  Let cool.

For the Creme de Menthe layer, mix the powdered sugar, butter and Creme de Menthe.  Spread on top of cooled bars.

For the frosting, melt the chocolate chips and butter together.  Cool slightly.  Spread over the top of the chilled Creme de Menthe layer.

Refrigerate till set.
