Steps:

• BROWNIES:.
• Preheat the oven to 350 F, and grease a 9x13" baking pan. Set aside.
• Cream the sugar and butter together, then add the vanilla. Add the beaten eggs, 1 cup of flour, and the chocolate syrup. Mix the batter well, and spread into the prepared pan. Bake for around 30 minutes, but check early. Allow the batter to cool completely while you make the next layers.

• CHOCOLATE LAYER:.
• Melt the chocolate chips together with the butter, either in the microwave or in a double boiler on the stove. Pour the chocolate layer over the crème de menthe layer.
• Transfer the baking pan into the freezer or refrigerator and allow to cool before you cut and serve.
• I like to serve them in little petit fours size bites. They are VERY RICH!
