Creme de Menthe Bars

Averie Cooks
  • 0 minutes
  • Serves 24 to 48

INGREDIENTS

Base

1/2 cup

unsalted butter

1/2 cup

unsweetened natural cocoa powder

1

large egg

2 cups

chocolate cookie crumbs (I used and recommend Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers and you’ll need two 9-ounce boxes; regular Oreos (not Double-Stuffed) may be substituted)

1/2 cup

confectioners’ sugar

1 tsp

vanilla extract

Middle

1/2 cup

unsalted butter

1/3 cup

cream de menthe liqueur

3

cups confectioners’ sugar

green food coloring, optional and as necessary (I used about 1/2 teaspoon)

Topping

1/4 cup

unsalted butter (half of 1 stick)

2 tbsp

vegetable shortening (Crisco), optional (helps chocolate melt smoother and be less prone to cracking upon slicing)

3/4 cup

semi-sweet chocolate chips
