Ingredients
1
box (1 lb 2.3 oz) Betty Crocker™ fudge brownie mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on brownie mix box
1/2
cup unsalted butter, softened
1
box (1 lb) powdered sugar (4 cups)
5
tablespoons whipping cream
2
teaspoons peppermint extract
6
drops green food color, if desired
1
cup thin rectangular crème de menthe chocolate candies, unwrapped, shaved (about 34 candies)
Preparation
Heat oven to 350°F. Line bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with foil, leaving foil overhanging at 2 opposite sides of pan; spray foil with cooking spray.
Make brownies as directed on box for fudge-like brownies, using water, oil and eggs. Spread batter in pan.
Bake 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from edge of pan comes out clean. Cool completely on cooling rack, about 30 minutes.
In large bowl, beat butter, powdered sugar, 1/4 cup of the whipping cream and the peppermint extract with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. If frosting is too thick, stir in remaining 1 tablespoon whipping cream. Stir in food color. Frost brownies. Refrigerate at least 2 hours. Use foil to lift out of pan. Cut into 8 rows by 6 rows. Top with shaved candies.
