BYU Mint Brownies

1 cup melted butter
1/2 cup Dutch processed cocoa
2 tablespoons honey
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 & 3/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Mint Icing:
5 tablespoons butter
dash of salt
1/2 drops green food coloring
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 & 1/3 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon mint extract

Mix butter, cocoa, honey and sugar. Add eggs one at a time and mix well after each. Blend dry ingredients and add to butter mixture. Finally add nuts if desired. Pour into 9 x 13 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes until toothpick comes out clean in center of brownies. Mix mint icing ingredients in the order given and spread on cooled brownies. Freeze just until stiff. Finish with your favorite chocolate frosting. These are also a favorite of Mamoo's from her college days at BYU. They cost 50 cents and would see me through the long days of walking all over the campus to get to class on time.
