Description

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup dark chocolate unsweetened cocoa powder (I love Rodelle)
• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1 cup Andes Creme de Menthe baking chips
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup milk
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
• 1 drop green food coloring (I use this)
• 3/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

• Preheat oven to 400 degree F. Line a 13x9 baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside. For the brownies, in a small saucepan over medium high heat, combine butter, cocoa powder and oil. Bring to a boil, whisking continuously, and remove from heat. In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, eggs, and buttermilk. Slowly add in the butter mixture (do not over mix). Add in flour, baking soda, and salt, stirring just until combined. Fold in Andes mints. Pour into prepared dish and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool. Once cooled, prepare the frosting. In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter for 3-4 minutes. Do this until the butter becomes pale in color. Add in milk, sugar, peppermint and food coloring. Beat an additional 3-5 minutes until frosting is light and fluffy (add more milk if needed). Fold in chocolate chips. Spread over cooled brownies. Refrigerate for two hours, until set. Cut and enjoy.
