Ingredients

Brownie Cups

  • 1 box (18.3 oz) Betty Crocker™ Fudge Brownie Mix
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs

Crème de Menthe Frosting

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons crème de menthe liqueur

Chocolate Glaze

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (6 oz)
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • Betty Crocker™ Chocolate Candy Sprinkles, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350° F. Spray 15 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray.
  • 2
    In large bowl, mix brownie mix, water, oil and eggs. Fill muffin cups two-thirds full of batter. Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until edges are dry but centers are still slightly soft. Cool 5 minutes in cups, then remove to cooling rack to cool completely while you make frosting.
  • 3
    In medium bowl, beat Crème de Menthe Frosting ingredients with electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy. Add more liqueur a teaspoon at a time if necessary to reach desired consistency. Spread frosting on tops of cooled brownie cups.
  • 4
    Place Chocolate Glaze ingredients in heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir frequently as mixture melts; remove from heat just when no lumps remain. Pour a spoonful over frosting on each cup. Sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles, if desired. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If desired, substitute green food color and 1 teaspoon mint flavoring for the crème de menthe liqueur.
  • tip 2
    You can make mini cups. Bake 10 to 13 minutes. Makes 30 mini cups.
  • tip 3
    For smoothest frosting, sift powdered sugar before making frosting.
