Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
- For the mint layer:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
- Green food coloring (optional)
- For the chocolate ganache:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare brownies according to package directions in a 9×13-inch pan. Let cool completely.
- For the mint layer, beat together butter, powdered sugar, milk, and peppermint extract until smooth and fluffy. Add green food coloring if desired.
- Spread mint frosting evenly over the cooled brownies. Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to set.
- To make the ganache, heat cream in a small saucepan or microwave until just simmering. Pour over chocolate chips in a bowl and let sit for 2–3 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Spread the ganache over the mint layer and refrigerate again for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
- Cut into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use homemade brownie batter for an even richer base.
- Adjust mint extract to taste — it’s strong, so start with less if unsure.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
