How to Make Tsr Version Of Starbucks Peppermint Brownie By Todd Wilbur

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Line the bottom with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  3. Sift one box (typically 15.25 oz) of brownie mix to remove lumps.
  4. Add the melted butter (as per brownie mix instructions), water (as per brownie mix instructions), eggs (as per brownie mix instructions), and 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract to the sifted brownie mix.
  5. Mix gently by hand until just combined.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake according to the brownie mix package directions (usually 25-30 minutes).
  7. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
  8. For the mint buttercream frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat together 1 cup powdered sugar and 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
  9. Add another 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  10. Spread the mint buttercream frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
  11. Refrigerate the brownies to firm up the frosting.
  12. For the chocolate ganache: In a saucepan, heat 1/3 cup milk and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter over medium heat until almost boiling.
  13. Pour 6 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips into a heat-safe bowl.
  14. Pour the hot milk mixture over the chocolate chips and let stand for 5 minutes to melt the chocolate.
  15. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and whisk until smooth and glossy.
  16. Beat in 1 cup powdered sugar using an electric mixer until the ganache is smooth and spreadable.
  17. Reserve 1/4-1/3 cup of the chocolate ganache for another use.
  18. Spread the remaining chocolate ganache over the mint buttercream frosting on the brownies.
  19. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the frosting to set.
  20. Remove brownies from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 9 pieces and serve.
