Southern Living
Bake 350 F
Yield 4 dozen
4 (1 oz.) square unsweetened chocolate 1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup butter 1/2 tsp salt
4 eggs 1 tsp vanilla
2 cups sugar
Frosting
4 cups sifted powdered sugar
1/4 cup Green creme de menthe
1/2 cup butter, softened at room temp.
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1/4 cup half and half
1/2 cup semisweet morsels, melted
Combine unsweetened chocolate and butter in a small, heavy saucepan; cook
over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted. Let stand 10 minutes.
Beat eggs at medium speed of electric mixer until lemon colored; gradually
add sugar, beating well until thick. Add flour, salt, vanilla and cooled
chocolate mixture; beat at low speed 1 minute. Spoon mixture into a
lightly greased and floured 13x9x2 inch pan. Bake 350 degrees for 25-30
minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool
10 minutes; spread with Creme de Menthe Frosting over warm top. Chill at
least 4 hours. Drizzle melted chocolate morsels over frosting. Cut into
bars. Remove from pan, and chill at least 1 hour. Store in an airtight
container.
Frosting Directions
Combine all ingredients except nuts in mixer bowl; beat at high speed
until smooth. Stir in nuts. (If you use clear creme de menthe you can add
a few drops of green food coloring to add color to the frosting.)
