Peppermint brownie recipe? Inquiring minds want to know!

Hold onto your aprons, this is the best brownie recipe! I've had "mint brownies" others have raved about but all fail in comparison to this one.

The first layer is a super fudgy peppermint brownie base. I made these for a friend and he thought I'd made him fudge at first, it is that rich! The second layer is a peppermint frosting, which is what really gives it that peppermint kick. To top it all off is a thin layer of super dark chocolate, the bitterness helping cut through the sweetness of the rest of it. My mom originally got this recipe from someone else, so it's not a secret family recipe and we've always shared it openly with everyone. Here you go, and if you make it, let me know how it turned out!

4 squares (4oz) Baker’s unsweetened chocolate 1 c. butter Combine; melt in a double boiler (glass bowl in a pot with water in the pot). [I like to melt in a pyrex measuring cup in a pot for easy removal and pouring out-my mom has adopted this method] 4 eggs                                      ¼ tsp peppermint extract 2 c. sugar                                 1 c. flour ¼ tsp salt Grease 13 X 9 pan.  Beat eggs until bubbly and frothy (may take 2-3 min.). Stir in remaining ingredients. Bake at 350 for about 25 min. Keep checking so the edges don’t burn. Cool. Middle layer: 4 Tbsp butter, softened           2 c. confectionary sugar 2 tsp milk                                1 ½ tsp peppermint extract Whip until stiff,  but spreadable. Spread over brownies. Put in fridge. Glaze: 3 squares (3oz) Baker’s unsweetened chocolate 3 Tbsp butter (sometimes I use 4 Tbsp butter so there is a little more to spread) Melt together in double boiler (like for first layer) Dribble over and spread over middle layer of brownie. Store in fridge. Let thaw before cutting so that the top layer does not crack. Cut into 1 inch squares. Don’t serve the edge pieces. Save to eat but they don’t look as pretty—but still taste yummy.

Yes, yes, Aunt Irene is manipulative and certainly not to be trusted, but...I would probably put up with it for her peppermint chocolate cake, too.
