Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (softened, for mint layer)
• 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 4 drops green food coloring
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (for ganache)
• 0.5 cup heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in 20-second increments, stirring in between until smooth. Let cool slightly.

Step 3

Whisk in 1.5 cups of granulated sugar, followed by 4 eggs, one at a time. Stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.

Step 4

Sift 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 0.25 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt into the wet ingredients. Fold gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Cool completely in the pan.

Step 6

For the mint layer, beat 0.5 cup of softened unsalted butter with 2 cups of powdered sugar until smooth. Mix in 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract and 4 drops of green food coloring. Spread the mint mixture evenly over the cooled brownies. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Step 7

To make the chocolate ganache, heat 0.5 cup of heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. Remove from heat and pour over 1.5 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.

Step 8

Pour the ganache over the chilled mint layer and spread into an even layer. Chill the brownies in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until set.

Step 9

Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Slice into 12 squares using a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts for neat edges. Serve and enjoy!
