Ingredients
Brownie Layer
- 4 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
- 1 cup butter unsalted
- 4 large egg
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Mint Layer
- 1 cup butter softened, unsalted
- 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 4 drops green food coloring
Chocolate Ganache
- 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions
Brownie Layer
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×13'' inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Add the butter and the unsweetened chocolate (chopped into chunks) and place together in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on low power in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted. Set aside to cool, stirring occasionally.
- In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla. Slowly add the melted chocolate, while mixing. In a separate small bowl whisk together the flour and baking powder. Stir the flour mixture into the chocolate batter, just until combined. Don't over-mix.
- Pour batter into greased pan and bake for 20-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool.
