Once again...

My Moms recipe was a hit so here is it is, Tait's and Dales'...

Mint Chocolate Brownies

Brownie mix: PS I just use boxed mix... I like it better.
1 cup oil 1 tsp. salt
2 cup of sugar ½ cup cocoa
4 eggs 1 ½ cup of flour
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix by hand (use wooden spoon) and bake in greased 9 x 13 glass pan for 25 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool then frost.

Frosting:
2 cups powdered sugar
4 Tb. soft butter or margarine
2 Tb. milk
1 tsp. peppermint extract

Spread frosting on brownies and let stand till set. I put it into the fridge.

Chocolate glaze:
Melt 2 oz. squares unsweetened chocolate & 2 Tb. butter and spread over frosting. Chill till firm.

This is one of our family favorite Christmas treats and the recipe comes from Grandma K.
