Mint Brownie recipe

I went home last night to have dessert with my family for my mom's birthday, and I made some really awesome mint brownies. My mom really loves mint-chocolate, so I found a recipe on hersheys.com for some really good Peppermint Pattie Brownies, and boy oh boy were they good! I'd like to share the recipe with you all, but don't freak out by the massive amount of eggs, butter, and sugar. They're BROWNIES, people. :) And they're delicious.

Sensational Peppermint Pattie Brownies

Ingredients:
24 small YORK Peppermint Patties (I actually used a larger bag of about 36)
1-1/2 cups (3 sticks) butter or margarine, melted
3 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
5 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup Hershey's cocoa (unsweetened, not Special Dark)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Remove wrappers from peppermint patties. Grease 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
2. Stir together butter, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl. Add eggs; beat until well blended. Stir in flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt; blend well. Reserve 2 cups batter. Spread remaining batter in prepared pan. Arrange peppermint patties about 1/2 inch apart in single layer over batter. Spread reserved two cups batter over patties.
3. Bake 50-55 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from the sides of the pan. Cool completely (I put Andes Mint baking bits on top right when they came out of the oven) in pan on wire rack; cut into squares. About 36 brownies.

Enjoy! These brownies are super sweet, so have a glass of milk handy. :)

Sidenote: you may be wondering, why is there a recipe for brownies on your blog? Isn't this supposed to be about how God is working in your life? Yes, yes it is. And this is how God's working: He's showing me the delicious beauty of mint brownies. :)
