Former #MiamiOH first lady Martha Shriver (1965-1981) was well-known for her brownie and cookie creations. On #NationalBrownieDay, we've whipped up her famous brownie recipe to celebrate. The perfect holiday treat, get the full recipe here: 

Melt together: 
4 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate
1/2 sticks margarine or butter 
Let this mixture cool.

Add: 
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla 

Stir all ingredients together.

Pour into a greased 9x12 pan with greased wax paper on the bottom

Bake at 375 degrees for 28 minutes.  Turn the pan upside down onto a cookie sheet.  Remove the wax paper.  Turn brownies back into baking pan.

 

To frost the Brownies:

Be sure the baked brownies are cooled to room temperature.

Layer one:
4 tablespoons butter, soft
2 cups confectioners' sugar (powdered sugar)
2 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract
3 to 4 drops green food coloring
Blend above 5 ingredients to creamy consistency.

Allow this layer to "set" for 2 hours, then frost the uncut brownies.

Layer two:
2 Tablespoons butter
2 oz unsweetened chocolate
Melt these two ingredients together.

 

Gently spread the second frosting layer over the first frosting layer.

 

Cool and cut.
