ingredients
- 236.59 ml margarine
- 4 unsweetened chocolate squares
- 473.18 ml sugar
- 236.59 ml flour
- 4.92 ml vanilla extract
- 2.46 ml salt
- 4 eggs
- 177.44 ml icing sugar
- 14.79 ml water
- 1.23 ml peppermint extract
- green food coloring
directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Melt chocolate and margarine, then combine with sugar, flour, vanilla, salt, and eggs. Blend with electric mixer on low until thoroughly mixed.
- Spread mixture into a greased 13"x9" baking pan.
- Bake for approximately 35 minutes - until a toothpick stuck in the centre of the pan comes out clean.
- Allow bars to cool completely in the pan on a cooling rack.
- Combine icing sugar, water, and peppermint extract to make the icing.
- The icing needs to be drizzled over the cooled bars, so consistency may need to be adjusted. If the icing is too watery, add a little more icing sugar; if the consistency is too thick, add a little more water.
- Stir green food colouring into the icing until you are happy with the colour.
- Use a spoon to drizzle icing back and forth, up and down all over the cooled bar mix.
- Allow icing to set by placing the pan in the refrigerator. Cut into bars.
