This is a very easy recipe for crème de menthe bars. My son won a purple ribbon (which is higher than a blue ribbon) at the county fair when he was 10 years old. This was also his first paid “catering” job for a graduation party when he was 12 (he’s married now, so that gives you a clue as to how long I’ve had this recipe). Great brownies with a mint-flavored filling.
