Hershey’s Double Chocolate Mint Dessert

I love dessert. Love, love, love! Hershey’s Double Chocolate Mint Dessert is one of my absolute favorites. Besides being delicious, the mint in this bar is really refreshing too. I didn’t want to keep this recipe to myself and am hoping you enjoy it as much as I do!

Hershey’s Double Chocolate Mint Dessert

1 cup flour

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter, softened

4 eggs

1 16 ounce can Hershey’s Syrup

2 cups powdered sugar

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 tablespoon water

1/2 teaspoon mint extract

3 drops green food color (optional)

6 tablespoons butter

1 cup mint chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate chips

Beat flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and syrup until smooth. Pour into greased 9” x 13” pan; bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched (top may still appear wet).

Cool completely in pan. Combine powdered sugar, butter, water, extract and food color; beat until smooth. Spread over cooled cake; chill.

Melt butter and chips until smooth when stirred. Pour over dessert; cover and chill.

Simple Tips:

*Make sure you leave enough time between steps. Things have to cool, chill, etc. and if you don’t plan ahead, you may have difficulties completing these on time.

*When you first bake the bars, they will pull away from the edge of the pan. This is normal and okay, so don’t panic like I did the first time I made them! 🙂 When you add the mint and chocolate on top, it will all even out and look great.

*Be careful when melting the chocolate. If this gets overdone, it won’t have the smooth finish you are looking for!

*These bars do tend to crumble when you cut them to serve. I say, who cares? They taste so good, no one will even notice!
