This recipe was shared with me by a very special lady I knew from my days of teaching at the Alliance Academy in Quito. Wanetta Groenewig was Mandie's 4th grade teacher, Ashley's 5th grade teacher, not sure if Lex had her for any classes. She was also my friend. These have been a favorite in our family for a very long time.
Brownies:
2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
4 tablespoons cocoa
Combine in a mixer bowl
In a saucepan combine 1 cup of butter and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, and pour over dry ingredients. Start mixing. To this add:
1/2 cup buttermilk, (I've used plain yogurt or milk mixed with 1 tablespoon vinegar, too)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
Mix all well, then pour into a high sided cookie sheet which has been greased well. (I usually use a 10x15 jelly roll pan.)
Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes. Cool completely.
Frosting:
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 teaspoons mint flavoring
10 drops green food coloring, (optional, but it sure makes them look yummy!)
Mix well, and spread on cooled brownies.
Topping:
Melt together 1 cup chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons butter. Drizzle over top of frosting. Let set.
Enjoy!!
