Family favorite...been making this recipe for years...the only difference is that my recipe calls for 1/2 c. butter for the brownies instead of the 1 c. that this recipe calls for. Also...I cut the chocolate frosting step in half and drizzle it on top of the creme de menthe frosting instead of making it a full layer.

Took another's advise and used Betty Crocker's Triple Chunk Brownie mix. Also added 1 tbl of creme de menthe to the brownix mix. Everyone loved it.

Great as is....But I was short on time so I used Betty Crocker triple chunk brownie mix. WOW! If you have the time try it as written, if not cheating makes a great dish too.

As per other reviewers, I made a different brownie recipe with this. I didn't like the topping at all though. The taste wasn't really minty. Made mint chocolate Baileys is the problem? That was the only mint liqueur that I was able to find. I had to throw out most of the topping after testing on a section of the brownies (I waited overnight as one user suggested that they get better over time). Very disappointed and a huge waste of ingredients. The only reason that it doesn't get less stars is that I don't actually know what the brownie tastes like.

Great tasting Christmas treat But it crumbled on me the first time I made it- so I eliminated the egg and coconut in the crust and baked it 7-8 min - we like it with the crunchy, nutty crust better.

This recipe is outstanding! I entered it in a newspaper contest and was chosen a semi-finalist. It is easy and delicious.

Can I just say, HOLY ! These bars are awesome! I can't make them that often because they only last for about two days around here. FYI, I've also substituted Kaluha for the Creme de Menthe and it was heavenly.

Well I wasn't sure about this at all while I was cooking it, but it turned out soooooo yummy! The brownie part itself probably wouldn't be great by itself (I have another recipe that's out of this world), but with the mint frosting and chocolate on top, it was really just right. I made a half batch and it worked out fine. I didn't want to buy creme de menthe just for this, so I used a splash of mint extract in the frosting, along with some green food coloring. I also wasn't very patient and frosted these while still kind of warm, and then put the top chocolate layer on. However, they cooled nicely and came out of the pan beautifully. I can't wait to make them again. I think they've got a great balance of flavors. Not too overly sweet, not too minty. Might try the creme de menthe another time.

This is a tasty, pretty bar. I used a boxed brownie mix, so I can't comment on the brownie recipe. The one I use is Betty Crocker Triple Chunk-- by far the best brownie mix I've found out there. The minty frosting with the chocolate on top is a nice addition and dresses it up a bit, so that you can serve it on a dessert tray at a fancier party. I tried to "drizzle" the chocolate over the mint frosting, but it didn't drizzle very well for me, so I ended up spreading it. Chill it well so that it cuts with sharp edges, making presentation even nicer.

Wonderful brownies!! For a quick and easy recipe, substitute a Brownie Mix for the base layer. No one will be able to tell a difference. I get compliments on these everytime I make them.

Wonderful recipe, Thank You Deirdre Dee!!! I made these bars years ago and it has been my holiday specialty ever since. I had a rule of only making them during the Christmas season but since my boyfriend has tried them I've had to tweak that rule a bit. I took a chance this summer and tried Disaronno (an amaretto liqueur) in place of the Creme de Menthe...YUM!

I have been making this recipe at Christmas time for about 5 years. It is my most frequently requested recipe. The only difference is that do not use as much Creme de Menthe (only 2 teaspoons) and I drizzle the chocolate over the top instead of making a layer of chocolate. Also, for a couple of the years I did not have Creme de Menthe and I used peppermint extract instead - still turned out great.

This was wonderful for a chocolate lover like myself! I didn't like it as much right after i had made it. But was in heaven the next morning after it had time to settle and the flavors to blend a little. Quite rich.

AWESOME! The first time I made these at Christmas I did it from scratch, but the next time instead of all the effort, I baked a batch of boxed brownies, and still did the topping the same. We liked it better! The topping is sooooo good! It will definitely become a holiday tradition at our house! Thanks for a great holiday treat!
