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.
Mint Filling
- Mix the butter until nice and fluffy. Add the remaining ingredients into the mixing bowl and mix until nice and creamy.
- Spread over the cooled brownies. Place in the refrigerator while preparing the ganache.
Chocolate Ganache
- Heat the cream and butter until just barely simmering. Pour over the chocolate chips and stir until smooth and glossy. Stir in the mint extract.
- Spread the ganache evenly over the mint layer. Refrigerate for an hour or so until the chocolate layer has set.
- Cut into squares and serve. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
