Brownie Layer

  • Stir in the sugar and eggs until smooth. Mix in the flour, vanilla, and salt.
  • Spread in a greased 9×13 pan and bake at 350˚F for 35-40 minutes, just until the brownies start to pull away from the edges of the pan.

Mint Buttercream Frosting

  • Beat the softened butter until light and fluffy.
  • Add the sugar, 2 tablespoon of milk, and mint extract. Stir until combined, then beat until smooth.
  • Stir in the green gel paste or food coloring until it is the shade of green you want.
  • Spread over the cooled brownies.
  • Place in the fridge for 30 minutes so that the buttercream can set before adding the chocolate layer.

Chocolate Mint Icing

  • Melt chocolate chips, butter, and light corn syrup in the microwave at 50% power for 2 minutes. Stir and continue heating at 50% power for 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
  • Mix in the peppermint extract.
  • Pour over the mint buttercream frosting and spread to cover.
  • Return to the fridge to harden.
  • Drizzle with melted green candy melts before serving, if desired.
