Ingredients
- 1 (16-18-ounce) package fudge brownie mix, plus the ingredients called for on the package
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup plus 6 tablespoons butter, softened, divided
- 2 tablespoons mint extract
- 2-3 drops green food coloring
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1 –Preheat the oven according to the brownie package directions.
Step 2 –Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease the paper.
Step 3 –Prepare the brownies according to the package directions.
Step 4 –Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish.
Step 5 –Bake the brownies according to the package directions.
Step 6 –Transfer the baked brownies from the oven to a wire rack and let them cool.
Step 7 –In a medium bowl, add the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup of the softened butter, the mint extract, the food coloring, and the milk and beat using an electric hand mixer until smooth.
Step 8 –Evenly spread the mint frosting mixture over the cooled brownies.
Step 9 –In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and the remaining butter and melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth, about 1 minute 30 seconds.
