Mint or Orange Brownies

This recipe I originally got from Christy Pettit. If you like chocolate and mint or chocolate and orange together you will love this recipe. It also makes just a great brownie.

Cream 3 cubes margarine and 3 cups sugar.
Add 6 eggs and 4 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted. ( I use 12 Tbsp. cocoa)
Add 2 ¼ c. flour.
Spread in a greased and floured sheet cake pan-the big silver cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
While still hot cover with 1 ½ lb mint or orange drops.(You can get them at Kitchen Kneads or Gygi’s there may be other places but I do Not know them. Make sure it says mint or orange flavored and not just green or orange-colored)
When they have melted, spread evenly over brownie and let set until firm.
Spread with frosting.

Frosting:
½ c. butter or margarine
6 Tbs. milk
1/3 c. cocoa

Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add about 2 c. powdered sugar. Cool slightly and spread over mint or orange layer. This frosting will be Thin and runny. It sets up when cool. Cut into squares as soon as frosting is set, otherwise the candy layer will break when you cut it instead of cutting smoothly.
