Peppermint Brownies

These delectable, multi-layered treats will have your mouth watering in minutes, if you like chocolate and peppermints that is.  Well, actually, even if you don't like chocolate, your mouth might water.  The recipe had you make brownies from scratch, but, it was getting late, time to pull out the boxed mix, and add the specified amount of peppermint extract.

Here's the recipe:

I added 1/2 tsp peppermint extract to the brownie mix.  Then, while they were baking, I:

Beat 2c powdered sugar, 4tbl butter, 2tbl milk, and 1/2 tsp peppermint extract until creamy.    Spread over warm brownies and chill until set, about 1 hour.
Then:
Melt 4oz semisweet chocolate or chocolate chips with 2tbl butter in microwave.  Pour over mint topping and chill until set, about 1 hr.
