Ingredients
Scale
- 4 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp. baking powder
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 4 tbsp. unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 ½ tsp. peppermint extract
- 1–2 tbsp. milk
- Green food coloring (optional)
- 6 oz. semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 6 tbsp. butter (preferably unsalted)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
- Melt the unsweetened baking chocolate and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat until smooth. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- Mix together the eggs and sugar in a large bowl, then add the vanilla and melted chocolate mixture while whisking continuously.
- Combine the flour and baking powder in another bowl, then add to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Bake the brownie batter for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan.
- Make the frosting by mixing the softened butter and powdered sugar, then adding peppermint extract and milk until smooth. If desired, add green food coloring.
- Frost the cooled brownies evenly with the creamy frosting.
- Melt the chocolate chips with butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then pour over the frosted brownies and spread evenly.
- Chill the brownies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing into squares.
Notes
Allow the brownies to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting. Use quality chocolate for the best flavor.
