Mint Sticks Recipe

My mom always makes these for Christmas so I made them myself this year for work. The recipe is very easy despite the three different steps. Just don't forget to grease the pan like I did . . . oops.

Ingredients
2 eggs
1/2 C. butter
1 C. sugar
2 sq. unsweetened chocolate
1 tsp. Peppermint extract
1/2 C. flour

Frosting:
1 C. confectioners sugar
2 T. butter, softened
1 tsp. Peppermint extract
Enough cream or milk to make into smooth consistency

Topping:
1 1/2 sqs. Unsweetened chocolate
2 T. butter

Directions
Melt chocolate and butter together. In medium bowl, beat eggs, add melted butter,
sugar and chocolate. Mix well. Add peppermint extract and flour. Pour into well greased
9x9” pan. Bake 350° for 20-25 minutes. Cool.

Frosting: Cream 2 T. butter, conf. Sugar and 1tsp. Peppermint extract. Moisten with
cream or milk. Add 1 drop green food coloring. Spread on cooled cake and place in fridge for 15 mins. Cover with topping.

Topping: Melt 1 1/2 sqs. Chocolate with 2 T. butter. Spread evenly over frosting.
Let it stand in fridge until firm. Cut into 16 small bars. You can double this recipe
and bake in 9 x 13 pan. These squares taste best made a day ahead.
