Ingredients

For the Brownies:

• 3/4 cup salted butter (melted)
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup light brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

For the Mint Buttercream:

• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 4 tablespoons salted butter, softened
• 1 1/2 teaspoons mint extract
• 3 to 4 drops of green food coloring
• 1 to 2 tablespoons whole milk

For the Chocolate Fudge Topping:

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 4 tablespoons salted butter

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan with butter and set aside. In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well blended. Add the lightly beaten eggs and stir until fully combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Toss in the 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to coat them with the flour mixture. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few fudgy crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely.

For the mint buttercream, combine powdered sugar, softened butter, mint extract, and green food coloring in a bowl. Beat for 1 minute, then add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to achieve a spreadable consistency. Spread the buttercream over the cooled brownies.

For the chocolate fudge topping, melt 1 cup of chocolate chips and 4 tablespoons of butter in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes, then spread it over the mint buttercream. Refrigerate for 45-60 minutes until set. Cut into 16 squares and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days—if they last that long!

Enjoy these Mint Chocolate Fudge Brownies as a delightful dessert or a sweet snack!
