Cup of Yum
Mint Layer
- Beat butter and mint extract until fluffy.
- Add powdered sugar a bit at a time mixing until well combined. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until smooth and spreadable. Add green food coloring and mix until fluffy and combined.
- Spread over cooled brownie base.
Topping
- Microwave chocolate chips and oil on medium heat until just melted. Spread over mint layer.
- Cool completely and cut into squares.
Notes
- Chop the bittersweet chocolate squares into small pieces for faster melting in the microwave.
- Line the pan with foil or parchment to make the brownies easy to lift out and cut.
- Do not overcook the brownies.
- Let each layer cool before adding the next which keeps the filling from melting.
- Chill the finished recipe 30 minutes before cutting for cleaner slices.
