How to Make Chocolate Mint Bars A Lighter Version
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup and level with a knife (1 ½ cups all-purpose flour).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and ½ teaspoon of salt.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 4 large egg substitutes (or 4 large eggs), ¼ cup (½ stick) melted unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons water, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ cup chocolate syrup. Stir until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Pour batter into a 13x9 inch baking pan coated with cooking spray.
- Bake for 23-25 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out almost clean.
- Let the chocolate layer cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- While the chocolate layer cools, prepare the mint layer: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup powdered sugar, ¼ cup (½ stick) melted unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon peppermint extract, and a few drops of green food coloring (adjust to your desired intensity). Beat with a mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the mint mixture evenly over the cooled chocolate layer.
- Prepare the chocolate glaze: Combine 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips and 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Let stand for 2 minutes to slightly thicken.
- Spread the chocolate glaze evenly over the mint layer.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the glaze is set.
- Cut into 20 bars and serve chilled.
