No Bake Mint Squares

Lightly spray an 8-inch square pan, set aside. Reserve 1/4 cup chocolate chips for the cookie crust, and set aside the rest for the chocolate covering.

For the cookie crust:
In a medium saucepan, melt butter and ¼ cup of the chocolate chips, stirring over low heat. When melted, remove from heat and stir in cookie crumbs. Press evenly onto greased pan. Refrigerate until firm, about 10 minutes.

For the peppermint filing:
In a small bowl, beat together butter, milk, peppermint and vanilla extract on medium speed until blended. Slowly beat in powdered sugar until smooth. Add more milk if consistency is not creamy enough for spreading.

Spread peppermint filling over cookie crumbs. Return to refrigerator.

For the chocolate covering:
In a small saucepan, melt remaining chocolate chips and butter over low heat, stirring continually. When melted, spread over peppermint filling. Refrigerate until set, at least 15 minutes. Cut into squares.
