These luscious, creamy bars are quite easy to prepare

Yield: About 36 Bars (party version)

Prep time: 30 minutes

Baking time: 45 minutes

Difficulty Level: Moderate

Helpful Hint: They'll slice much more cleanly if you freeze them first.

Brownie Crust:

• 1 1/2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
• 2 Tbsp. Horizon Organic® unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 Horizon Organic egg
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• pinch of salt
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

Mint Filling:

• 2 (8-ounce) containers Horizon Organic cream cheese, room temperature
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 Horizon Organic egg
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 Tbsp. clear crème de cacao liqueur
• 2 Tbsp. green crème de menthe liqueur
• 1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour

Sour Cream Topping:

• 1 cup Horizon Organic sour cream
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Use foil to line a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan, then lightly grease the foil.

To prepare the brownie crust, melt the chocolate and butter together and whisk to blend. Whisk in the sugar, egg, vanilla, and salt. Add the flour and whisk just until blended. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared pan (it will make a thin layer) and bake for 10 minutes. Allow the crust to cool briefly while you mix the filling.

Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese with the sugar at high speed until very fluffy, scraping the bowl often. Reduce the mixer speed to low and blend in the egg and vanilla, scraping the bowl as needed. Blend in the liqueurs, followed by the flour. Pour the filling over the brownie crust and return to the oven to bake for 25 minutes. Allow the bars to cool briefly while you mix the topping.

To make the topping, whisk together the sour cream and sugar. Spread the topping in a thin layer over the bars, then sprinkle with chocolate chips. Return to the oven to bake for 10 minutes. Cool the bars thoroughly, then freeze for several hours to facilitate cutting. Serve chilled.

Grasshopper dream bars will keep frozen, well wrapped, for up to three months, or refrigerated for up to five days.
