2 pouches brownie mix*
1/3 cup flour
1/2 cup water
1 1/3 cup oil
6 eggs
*Mom uses specifically Betty Crocker fudge brownie mix, but I think other brands would work. This is basically following the directions on the box for cake-like brownies.
Combine ingredients and pour into a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
For BYU Mint Brownies Frosting:
Icing Base
1 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
32 ounces powdered sugar
In stand mixer, mix ingredients together until smooth. Divide into two bowls then add one of the flavorings to each.
Mint Icing
Add 3/4 teaspoon mint extract and 2 to 3 drops green food coloring (or pink or red food coloring for Valentine’s Day) and stir until well blended. Spread mint icing over top of cooled brownies, then refrigerate for icing to get firm. Having pans with lids is very helpful when you make several pans full.
Chocolate Icing
Add 3 tablespoons hot water to 1/3 cup cocoa and whisk together. Spoon chocolate mixture into the other half of the icing, stirring until well mixed. Carefully spread chocolate icing over the mint icing layer after it has set. Cut into squares, then serve.
