I gave this 5 stars. I've made this for a gathering and recieved wonderful remarks on it. I cut my copy of this from a magazine years ago. The directions are almost the same except with a few different directions and amounts. The oven temp my copy says is 350. The pan size is 13x9x2 inches. The butter for the Mint Cream Center says to use 1/2 cup. Thanks for posting such a great recipe. Christine (internetnut)

Okay...I cheated. I used brownie mix for the cake layer. This is a rich sweet treat. Yummy! Thanks for sharing!
