     Title: QUICK MINT BROWNIES
Categories: Cookies
     Yield: 1 servings

20 1/2 oz Box Brownie mix
   2/3 c  Chocolate chips or*

---------------------------ICING---------------------------

10 1/2 oz Chocolate fudge topping

  Brownies

  Brownies have been an American favorite for close to
 one hundred years. Time your brownies carefully so
 they do not come out too "wet" or "dry": test for
 doneness several times during baking.

  Your guests won't know you've used a packaged brownie
 mix for this one-and don't tell them.

  Prepare brownies as directed on package, stirring
 chocolate chips or walnut pieces into batter before
 baking. Let brownies cool, cut into 1 1/2-inch squares
 and refrigerate for 2 hours.

  To prepare icing, cream together butter, salt,
 peppermint extract and confectioners sugar until
 smooth. Spread over brownies. Let icing set.

  Spread chocolate fudge topping over the top of each
 frosted brownie square. Place the brownies in the
 freezer for 5-10 minutes. Remove and serve or keep in
 a cool spot until serving.
