  • 12

Ingredients

  • 4 squares unsweetened baking chocolate (4oz)
  • 1 C butter (2 sticks)
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/4 C flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 C powdered sugar
  • 4 T butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1-2 Tbs milk
  • green food coloring
  • 6 oz (about 1 cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 5 Tbs butter

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease well a 9×13'' inch pan.
Chop the butter and the unsweetened chocolate into chunks and place together in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted. Set aside to cool, stirring occasionally.
In a large bowl beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy. While mixing, slowly add the melted chocolate.
In a separate small bowl combine the flour and baking powder. Stir the flour into the chocolate batter, just until combined. Pour batter into greased pan and bake for 20-30 minutes or until a knife poked in the center comes out clean.
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
