Ingredients
For the Brownies
- 18 ounces triple chocolate brownie mix (1 box)
- ¼ cup water
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon peppermint extract
For the Frosting
- 32 ounces vanilla frosting (2 containers)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature (¼ stick)
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon peppermint extract
- 5 drops green food coloring optional
Instructions
For the Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray an 8x8-inch baking dish evenly with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- Mix the brownie mix, water, vegetable oil, egg, and peppermint extract in a large bowl.
- Pour brownie batter into the greased dish. Bake for about 25 minutes, turning the dish around halfway through cooking time. Brownies are done when an inserted toothpick comes out mostly clean. They will be a little fudgey and you don’t want to overcook them.
- Allow brownies to cool fully before frosting.
Cup of Yum
For the Frosting
- In a large bowl, combine the vanilla frosting, butter, salt, and peppermint extract. Mix well.
- Add the green food coloring, 2 drops at a time, until you have reached the desired color of green (I used about 5 drops total) Place frosting in the refrigerator to thicken up for about 10 minutes.
- Frost the brownies, cut into slices, and serve.
Notes
- Storage: Store mint chocolate brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
