I did this recipe 2 times for a past Christmas. It was very successfully. If you love mint and chocolate, this is perfect for you. A real treat :P From Jean Paré. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine |
1/4 cup sugar |
5 tablespoons cocoa powder |
1 egg, beaten |
1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs |
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped |
3/4 cup fine shredded coconut |
1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine |
3 tablespoons milk |
1 teaspoon peppermint extract |
2 cups icing sugar |
green food coloring |
2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips |
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine |
Directions:
1. Bottom: Mix the first quantity of butter, sugar and cocoa powder in a casserole. Bring slowly to boil. Add the egg stirring to thicken the mixture. Remove from the heat.
2. Incorporate the graham crumbs, walnuts and coconut. Press the mixture in a greased mold of 9 x 9 inch.
3. Middle: Mix second quantity of butter, milk, mint essence and icing sugar in a bowl. Beat well. Add green food coloring until you obtain a good green you like. Spread on the first mixture, in the mold.
4. Garnish: Melt the chocolate and the third quantity of butter in a casserole at low heat or above hot water (I did it in micro-waves) Spread on the second mixture in the mold. Put in the fridge. Keep in the fridge, covered.
5. Cut in 36 squares.
6. These squares can be frozen.
