Instructions
Brownies
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8×8 inch pan with nonstick baking spray. Place a strip of parchment paper in the pan to cover the bottom and leave a little overhang on two of the sides to use as handles to pull the brownies out of the pan once cooled. Set aside.
- Add the butter and baking chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals and stir after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted.
- Pour the butter and chocolate into a large mixing bowl. Add in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer, beat on medium for about 1 to 2 minutes until lighter in color and thick.
- Add in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat just until the flour is incorporated.
- Add dollops of the brownie batter to the prepared pan. Gently spread the brownie batter out evenly using a spatula.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 28 to 35 minutes until done.
- Let cool completely before making the frosting.
Frosting
- Add the butter, powdered sugar, mint extract, vanilla extract, milk, and food color to a large bowl. Beat with a hand mixer on low just until the powdered sugar is combined.
- Add in the mini chocolate chips and turn the mixer up to medium/high. Beat until fluffy.
- Gently spread the frosting evenly on top of the brownies.
- Pull the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut.
Notes
- I doubled the frosting recipe for a thicker layer.
- If you want your frosting sweeter, add an additional 1/2 to 1 cup of powdered sugar and 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of milk to the frosting recipe. Taste to make the mint is still to your liking, if not, add an additional 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of mint extract.
