CREME DE MENTHE BARS
his is a very easy recipe. My son won a purple ribbon (which is higher than a blue ribbon) at the county fair when he was 10 years old. This was also his first paid 'catering' job for a graduation party when he was 12 (he's married now, so that gives you a clue as to how long I've had this recipe). Great brownies with a mint flavored filling.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your bars.
- Make sure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them cream together smoothly.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough.
- Bake the bars until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely before you cut them. This will help them hold their shape.
- Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
