List of Ingredients




First layer:
1 box chocolate cake mix
1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 egg


Filling:
one 1/4-ounce envelope unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup boiling water
4 cups powdered sugar, divided
1/2 cup margarine or butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
2 to 3 drops green food coloring


Frosting:
6-ounce package semisweet chocolate chips (1 cup)
3 tablespoons butter or margarine



Recipe



Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 15-by-10-inch jellyroll pan.
In a large bowl, combine all first-layer ingredients and mix until crumbly. Press onto bottom of prepared pan. Bake 10 minutes. Cool.


Dissolve gelatin in the boiling water; cool.
In large bowl, combine the softened gelatin, 2 cups of the powdered sugar, margarine, shortening, extract and food coloring. Keep color light. Beat 1 minute at medium speed or until smooth and creamy. Blend in remaining 2 cups powdered sugar until smooth. Spread evenly over cooled pan crust.

In a small saucepan, heat chocolate chips and margarine over low heat until chocolate melts, stirring constantly. Spread evenly over filling.

Place tray in refrigerator until cookies are firm. Remove from refrigerator 20 minutes before cutting. Cut into 48 bars.
