Wedged between Valentine’s Day and Easter, sometime’s St. Patrick’s Day can get a little overlooked in our rush to embrace spring with open arms!
But here, At The Picket Fence, we like to take time to celebrate the Luck O’ the Irish and what better way than with some Shamrock Brownies!
Beyond the Pub Crawls, Green Beer and 4 Leaf Clovers, St. Patrick was a real man, who persevered through insurmountable challenges, and went on to lead an amazing life!
These fun Chocolate and Mint Layered Shamrock Brownies hardly do St. Patrick justice but there is something special about homemade brownies made with simple ingredients. I like to believe he would have appreciated one of these delicious brownies, made in his honor, with a pint of ale!
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups + 6 Tbs butter, divided and softened
- 4 eggs
- 16 1/2 oz. can of Hershey's syrup
- 2 cups powered sugar
- 1 Tbs water
- 1/2 tsp MINT extract
- Green food coloring
- 1 cup mint chocolate chips OR 3 mint chocolate bars
Instructions
- Beat together flour, sugar, butter and eggs until blended. Add in chocolate syrup. Beat until blended. Spread into a parchment paper lined and greased 9 X 13 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Cool in refridgerator.
- Beat together powdered sugar, 1/2 cup softened butter, water, MINT flavoring. Beat until smooth. Add food coloring and mix until desired color is achieved. Spread over cooled brownies. Return to refridgerator.
- Melt 6 Tbs butter, chocolate chips or broken chocolate bars in microwave for 1 1/2 minutes. Mix well and spread over brownies. Allow to harden. Cut into shamrocks using shmrock cookie cutter or into bars.
