    Bottom Layer:
    1/2 c. butter
    1/2 c. cocoa
    1/2 c. powdered sugar
    1 egg, beaten*
    1 tsp. vanilla
    2 c. graham cracker crumbs

    In pan, combine butter and cocoa. Heat and stir until well blended.

    Remove from heat and add powdered sugar, egg and vanilla. Stir in crumbs.
    *(If you're concerned about the raw egg, substitute 1/4 c. eggbeaters).
    Mix well and press into bottom of 9x13 ungreased pan. Let cool completely.

    Middle Layer:
    1/2 c. butter
    1/4 c. green Creme DeMenthe*
    3 c. powdered sugar
    2 tsp. dry instant vanilla pudding mix

    *(You may substitute milk for Creme DeMenthe and add mint extract to taste and green food coloring).
    At low speed, beat in powdered sugar and pudding mix until smooth. If mixture is too thin, add more powdered sugar. (Mixture should be frosting consistency). Spread over first layer.
    Chill 1 hour.

    Top Layer:

    1-1/2 c. chocolate chips

    Combine in small pan. Heat and stir until melted. Spread over mint layer.
