Recipe Summary
Ingredients
Directions
Chocolate Glaze
In a small saucepan, cook and stir 1/3 cup heavy cream and 6 ounces finely chopped bittersweet or semisweet chocolate over low until chocolate melts. Remove from heat. Let cool about 20 minutes or until it slightly thickens. (Chocolate should be warm but not hot.)
Crème de Menth Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/3 cup softened butter and 3 tablespoons green crème de menthe or creme de menthe syrup. Gradually add 4 cups powdered sugar, beating with an electric mixer on medium until smooth. If necessary, add 1 tablespoon additional crème de menthe to make spreading consistency. (Or, if you like, substitute milk for green crème de menthe. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract and 2 or 3 drops green food coloring.)
