Delicious Mint Chocolate Brownies

These brownies feature a fudgy chocolate base infused with mint extract, topped with a creamy mint frosting and a drizzle of chocolate ganache. The recipe takes about 45 minutes from start to finish and serves 12 pieces.

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking pan.
Make the Brownie Batter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla and peppermint extracts. Mix in cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
Bake: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Prepare the Frosting: In a bowl, beat together the softened butter, powdered sugar, milk, peppermint extract, and green food coloring until smooth. Spread the frosting over the cooled brownies.
Make the Ganache: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just simmering. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips, stirring until melted and smooth. Drizzle over the frosted brownies.
Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy!
