Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
green food coloring (optional)
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in sugar until combined, then add eggs one by one followed by vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until fully incorporated.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Allow cooling completely.
For the mint frosting, combine powdered sugar, milk, peppermint extract, and optional food coloring; beat until smooth. Spread over cooled brownies.
To make ganache, heat cream until simmering; remove from heat and stir in chocolate until smooth. Pour over frosting layer and let set before slicing.
