Choco-Mint Bars

Last night Sydney randomly picked another recipe out of our "untried recipes box." She selected "Choco Mint Bars." This is proving to be a fun tradition! We made these this afternoon, after a wonderful Conference day and had a blast!! Sydney commented that baking is so much fun!

Makes one 9x13 pan

Cake

1 c sugar

1 cup flour

1/2 cup butter

16 oz. can Hershey Syrup

4 beaten eggs

1 t. vanilla

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, vanilla and syrup. Fold in the flour; pour into 9x13 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

Mint Filling

2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter
3/4 t. peppermint extract

1 T. milk

2 drops green food coloring

Spread mint mix on cooled cake. Refrigerate.

Glaze

1 cup chocolate chips

6 t. butter

Melt chips with butter. Place in refrigerator to cool. When cool, but still spreadable, spread over mint layer. Refrigerate.

Notes: This was a widely approved dessert! Everyone, except for Kaleigh, indicated this was a HIT! Kaleigh said she just simply doesn't like mint anything! Super easy, and so yummy!!!
