1/2 c. butter
1 c. sugar

1 (16 oz.) can Hershey chocolate syrup
1 c. plus 1 tbsp. flour

2-4 drops green food coloring (omit, if using creme de menthe)

LAYER 3:
6 tsp. butter
1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips

CAKE: Cream butter, sugar, and eggs well. Then add other ingredients. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes in jelly roll or 9x13 inch greased and floured pan. Don't over bake! Cool completely.

LAYER 2: Beat well butter, powdered sugar, milk, extract, and green food coloring. Spread over cooled cake. Refrigerate until cold.
