Sugar-n-Spice, Cougareat Food Court
MAKES ONE 9-BY-13 PAN OF BROWNIES.
PREP AND COOK: 90 min. COOL: 1 hr.
1 c. margarine
1/2 c. cocoa
2 Tbsp. honey
4 eggs
2 c. sugar
1 3/4 c. flour
1/2 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. chopped walnuts
12 oz. chocolate icing (Use your own icing recipe or purchase some chocolate frosting. You can also search the Internet for chocolate icing recipes.)

MINT ICING
5 Tbsp. margarine
dash of salt
3 Tbsp. milk
1 Tbsp. light corn syrup
2 1/3 c. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. mint extract
1-2 drops green food coloring

1. Melt margarine and mix in cocoa. Allow to cool. Add honey, eggs, sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well. Add nuts. Pour batter into a greased 9-by-13 baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Cool.

2. Prepare mint icing: Soften margarine. Add salt, corn syrup, and powdered sugar. Beat until smooth and fluffy.. Add mint extract and food coloring. Mix. Add milk gradually until the consistency is a little thinner than cake frosting.

3. Spread mint icing over brownies. Place brownies in the freezer for a short time to stiffen the icing. Remove from the freezer and carefully add a layer of chocolate icing.


I received an Alumnus email to vote for Coach Mendenhall, so I went to the BYU website to do so, and when I was done I happened to notice this recipe.  I don't have everyone's email on my work email, so hopefully this gets to all of you.  I am certain that some of you out of state BYU grad's whose hips are surely missing a few of these babies on a plate (and then of course, in the mouth, which is how they get to the hips) will treasure this recipe.  Bon appetite (and then bon jogging).

Whenever we would have something special in the family, she would supply trays of the wonderful brownies. We didn't get the recipe because, at the time, it was the property of BYU. Anyway, we had them for anything that was big--missionary farewells, wedding receptions, family reunions, etc. What good memories and now I have the recipe. Thanks, Ams. I will try to only fix them sometimes so that the hips will not get too wide. Love, M
