These ridiculously delicious brownies combine the richness of chocolate with the cool flavor sensation of mint. It’s a classic flavor combo that no one can resist.
Combine all batter ingredients in order given, in a large mixing bowl. Mix on medium speed until blended. Pour batter into a greased 13 x 9 x 2 pan. Bake 30 - 40 minutes or until batter is set. Use a cake tester.
Combine all frosting ingredients and beat with a mixer until smooth. Spread mixture over cooled brownies and let cool until set.
For the chocolate glaze: Melt chocolate chips and butter in a small sauce pan stovetop over medium low heat. Stir constantly until blended and smooth.
Pour the chocolate glaze into a catsup type squeeze bottle. With sweeping motions, add the glaze to the top of the brownies and frosting.
Cover and refrigerate until ready to cut and serve.
Notes
Tips for Success:When making any type of brownie, always mix the batter just long enough to blend the ingredients well. Over beating brownie batter will add air and result in a more cake like texture.As I learned in Culinary School, rotate the brownie pan half way through the baking process. This will help with a more evenly baked pan of brownies, especially when using a larger pan like a 9 x 13 x 2.When cutting brownies, use a sharp knife. Dip the knife in hot water and then quickly wipe dry. Make your first cut and then repeat this process for each cut. If you want the color of the frosting to be greener, add a few more drops of green food coloring. Brownies freeze up to 3 months. Freeze individual squares wrapped in parchment paper and place in an air tight container. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
