Creme de Menthe Bars

SUBMITTED BY: Deirdre Dee PHOTO BY: KRISSYTINA

"his is a very easy recipe. My son won a purple ribbon (which is higher than a blue ribbon) at the county fair when he was 10 years old. This was also his first paid 'catering' job for a graduation party when he was 12 (he's married now, so that gives you a clue as to how long I've had this recipe). Great brownies with a mint flavored filling."
Original recipe yield 24 bars
