How to Make Chocolate Fudge Mint Brownies

  1. **Brownie Layer:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch square baking pan.
  2. In a double boiler, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt until light and fluffy.
  4. Gradually add the cooled chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, beating well on medium speed. Reduce speed to low and gradually add 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour. Mix until just combined.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  8. **Mint Icing:** In a medium bowl, beat together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, 3 cups powdered sugar, and ¼ cup milk until smooth and creamy. Stir in 1 teaspoon peppermint extract and a few drops of green food coloring (optional).
  9. Spread the mint icing evenly over the cooled brownies.
  10. **Chocolate Glaze:** In a double boiler, melt 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter until smooth.
  11. Pour the melted chocolate glaze over the mint icing. Tilt the pan to evenly distribute the glaze.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the glaze to set.
  13. Cut into small bars and enjoy!
