Jennifer Hyde in Logan, Utah gets all the credit. I stole this recipe from her and I am famous in Birdseye, UT for these suckers.
Step 1:
Preheat oven to 350º. In a medium mixing bowl combine 2 cups sugar, 1 cup melted butter 2/3 c. cocoa and 4 eggs- one at a time, mixing between each.
Step 2:
Add 1 1/2 cup flour and mix until blended. Pour into greased 9x13” pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool before frosting.
Step 3:
Whip together 1 pound powdered sugar, 2 cubes butter, 1-3 T. milk, 4 drops green food coloring and 2 drops peppermint oil or mint extract. Mix until smooth. Taste and add more mint oil if needed.
Step 4:
Create ganache by mixing 3/4 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/4 c. butter. Melt in microwave for 1 minute and mix, continue microwaving and mixing until smooth.
Assembly:
When brownies are cool, frost with mint frosting. Drizzle with ganache. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve. Serve at room temperature for best taste.
Tip:
For Festive Christmas Brownies, use red food coloring and add smashed peppermint candycanes to the top.
Try not to eat the whole pan in one sitting. ✌🏼
