GRASSHOPPER BARS

Steps:

• Make the buttercream layer: In a medium size heavy-bottomed sauce pan, whisk the sugar and flour together. Add the milk and 3 tablespoons of the cream and cook over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until the mixture comes to a boil and has thickened, 5-7 minutes. Remove the mixture from the heat and beat with an electric mixer on high until cool. Reduce the speed to low and add the butter. Mix until thoroughly incorporated. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until the filling is light and fluffy. Add the peppermint extract and green food coloring, if using (add until you get the desired green tint you're looking for), and beat until combined. The consistency should be smooth and creamy. If too stiff, add the additional tablespoon of cream. Spread the buttercream over the cooled brownie layer and chill in the refrigerator for at least 45 minutes. Make the chocolate glaze: In a medium size bowl, combine the chocolate, corn syrup and butter and melt in the microwave, stirring with a rubber spatula and checking often to avoid scorching. When melted, stir vigorously for 1 minute to cool. Pour over the buttercream layer, tipping pan in each direction so the buttercrream is completely and evenly covered with the glaze. Chill the bars in the fridge for at least 1 hour. When ready to serve, remove the pan from the fridge 15 minutes prior and cut the bars into squares with a warm knife and serve immediately. Store in the refrigerator for up to four days.
