How To Make The Recipe

Creating these brownies involves three main steps: baking the brownie layer, preparing and adding the mint filling, and finally, adding the chocolate ganache on top. As always, you can find the full, printable recipe at the end of this post.

Brownies

Preheat oven to 325°F. Prepare an 8 inch or 9 inch baking dish by spraying with cooking spray and lining with parchment paper. Set aside.

Melt the butter, chocolate and baking chips (if using) together. Remove from heat. (You can do this in a double boil or in the microwave. Heat at 50% power in 20 second increments, stirring in between.)

Stir in the granulated sugar, vanilla and mint extracts until combined.

Add the eggs in one at a time making sure they are well incorporated.

Mix in the flour and salt until smooth and combined.

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Cool completely on a wire rack.

Mint Filling

Beat the butter until nice and fluffy.

Add the powdered sugar, water, extract and green food coloring and mix until nice and creamy.

Spread over the cooled brownies.

Place in the refrigerator while preparing the ganache.

Chocolate Ganache

Place the chocolate in a medium, heat safe bowl.

Bring the whipping cream just to a simmer on the stove top or in the microwave.

Pour the cream over the chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes. Whisk until nice and smooth.

Cool in the bowl for 10 minutes before pouring over the mint layer.

Chill brownies for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
