Ingredients

Brownies

1 (18-ounce) box fudge brownie mix (I used Duncan Hines)
ingredients listed on brownie mix box (typically eggs, oil, water)

Frosting

½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
2 cups powdered sugar
½ teaspoon peppermint extract
¼ teaspoon salt
green food coloring
2-4 tablespoons heavy cream

Ganache

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Preheat oven according to brownie mix directions. Line a 9x9-inch pan with parchment paper or spray with nonstick spray.
Prepare brownie batter according to package instructions. Pour into the prepared pan and bake as directed. Cool completely.
In a mixing bowl, beat butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, mint extract, salt, and 2 tablespoons heavy cream. Mix until smooth, adding more cream as needed to reach a spreadable consistency. Tint with green food coloring.
Spread frosting evenly over cooled brownies. Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes until firm.
Add chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl. Pour 1/3 cup heavy cream over the chips. Microwave for 45 seconds. Let sit for 1 minute, then whisk until smooth to form ganache.
Spread ganache evenly over the chilled mint layer. Refrigerate until set, then slice and serve.

Notes

Be sure the brownies are completely cool before adding the mint frosting to prevent melting.
Store the brownies in an airtight container for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
The brownies can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
