sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well. Add nuts. Pour
batter into a greased 9-by-13 baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees
for 25 minutes. Cool. Prepare mint icing: Soften margarine.
Add salt, corn syrup, and powdered sugar. Beat until smooth
and fluffy. Add mint extract and food coloring. Mix. Add milk
gradually until the consistency is a little thinner than cake

We are just finishing a batch of these. They are so good. My 18 month old gives the biggest smiles when I offer him some after dinner.
