St Patty's Day Mint "Irish" Brownies

I am not Irish, but you have to love a holiday that has green beer associated with it. Since I am not a huge fan of corn beef, I am celebrating the holiday this year with Chocolate Mint Bars. Ever since I saw these staring at me from the cover of my Cooking Light Magazine, I know I had to bake them. My recipe is the same except for three variations:

1. Instead of making the brownie part I substituted with a box mix of brownies. I figure if Sandra Lee can go semi-homemade, so can Baker Babe.
2. For the mint layer I upped the powdered sugar by 1/2 cup and substituted the extract and milk for one shot of peppermint liquor. The true way to make these Irish, right?
3. Lastly, for the top chocolate layer I melted down a few Mint Dark Chocolate Lindt balls that I still had left over from Christmas time.

So there you have it. The perfect way to spread some true Irish Cheer! Enjoy!
