How to Make Mint Chocolate Squares

**Make the Mint Base:** In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup powdered sugar, ¼ cup chopped fresh mint leaves, and ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter. Mix until evenly moistened and crumbly.
**Press into Pan:** Press the mint mixture firmly into the bottom of an ungreased 9x9 inch baking pan.
**Bake the Crust:** Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
**Cool Completely:** Let the crust cool completely in the pan before proceeding to the next step.
**Prepare the Mint Filling:** In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 teaspoon peppermint extract, and ½ cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter until smooth and creamy.
**Spread the Filling:** Spread the creamy mint mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
**Make the Chocolate Ganache:** In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate and 2 tablespoons heavy cream, stirring until smooth and glossy.
**Cool Slightly:** Remove from heat and let the ganache cool slightly until it thickens enough to spread, but is still pourable (about 5 minutes).
**Pour and Spread:** Carefully pour the chocolate ganache over the mint layer and spread evenly to cover the entire surface. If it gets too warm, it might melt the mint layer – work quickly but carefully!
**Chill and Set:** Refrigerate the Mint Chocolate Squares for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is firm and set.
**Cut and Serve:** Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
