2.  Add eggs 1 at a time and beat well after each addition.

3.  Add salt, flour, and vanilla. Pour into a greased cookie sheet 12x17 inch. Bake at 350 for 25 to 30 minutes.  Let cool completely.

4.  Make the mint topping:  Mix the cream cheese, cream, mint extract, and powdered sugar together until smooth. Spread on the cooled brownies. Put in freezer until mint layer has firmed up.
