Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 4 drops green food coloring
• 1 cup butter, melted
• ¼ cup melted butter
• ½ cup cocoa powder
• ⅓ cup cream
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 2 ½ tablespoons milk
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 (12 ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons mint extract

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Combine sugar, butter, cocoa powder, and eggs in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until well mixed. Add flour, vanilla extract, and salt; mix to combine. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until top is dry and edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 25 minutes. Let cool, about 20 minutes.

Step 4

While brownies are cooling, mix powdered sugar, melted butter, milk, mint extract, and food coloring with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Spread frosting on cooled brownies; place in refrigerator.

Step 5

Place chocolate chips and cream in a glass bowl over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Drizzle over brownies and return to the refrigerator, until top layers are set, about 45 minutes.
