Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 4 | eggs |
| 1 | cup sugar |
| 1/2 | cup butter |
| 16 | oz flour |
| 1 | cup butter |
| 1/2 | cup confectioners’ sugar |
| 3 1/2 | tbsp milk |
| 1/4 | tsp peppermint extract |
| 1 | drop green food coloring |
| 10 | oz chocolate chips |
| 1/2 | cup butter |
| 12 | drops green food coloring |
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 16×11-inch jelly roll pan or baking pan, dust it with flour, and invert to shake out excess flour.
-
Prepare Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Gradually beat in the sugar until well combined. Add the butter and chocolate syrup, and blend until smooth. Stir in the flour until just incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan while you prepare the frosting.
-
Make Mint Frosting: In another bowl, beat together the butter, confectioners’ sugar, and milk until fluffy. Stir in the peppermint extract and green food coloring until the mixture is evenly colored. Spread the mint frosting over the cooled brownies in an even layer. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to set the frosting.
-
Prepare Chocolate Glaze: In a small saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate chips together over very low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Spread the chocolate glaze evenly over the chilled mint frosting layer. Return the pan to the refrigerator and chill until the glaze is firm.
-
Cut and Serve: Using a small sharp knife, cut the brownies into small squares, wiping the knife blade clean after each cut for neat edges. Serve and enjoy these rich mint brownies as a delightful treat!
