Ingredients

Brownies

Mint Frosting

  • ½ cup Butter Unsalted, Softened
  • 2.5 cups Powdered sugar
  • 3-4 tablespoon Milk Or heavy cream
  • 1.5 teaspoon Mint extract
  • Green food coloring

Drizzle

Instructions

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, add butter, chocolate chips and heat in 30 second increments, while mixing in between, until everything has fully melted into a smooth mixture. 
    Note: The mixture should not be boiling hot. If it is, let it cool down a bit and then proceed to the next step. 
  • Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, mint extract and mix until smooth.
  • Add flour, cocoa powder and mix until just combined. Don't over-mix!
  • Pour brownie batter in a rectangle cake pan (Dimensions: 9x13) that's been lined with foil paper and sprayed with oil. 
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until an inserted toothpick in the center comes out with some sticky crumbs. 
  • Allow the brownies to cool down completely while you prepare the frosting...
  • In a mixing bowl, add butter and mix until smooth. 
  • Add powdered sugar (½ cup at a time) while continuing to mix until the desired spreadable consistency is achieved.  
  • Add mint extract and green coloring and mix until combined. 
  • Spread frosting on the cooled brownies and chill for at least 1 hour before cutting slices. 
  • Drizzle each slice with melted chocolate and enjoy! 

Notes

  • Don't use too much mint extract because that can add an overwhelming bitter taste. 
  • Use both, granulated and brown sugar in the batter for best texture.
  • Green food coloring is optional. You can omit it if you don't like it. 
  • Don't over-bake brownies because that can make them very dry.
  • Read additional tips and variations above.
  • Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
