- 4 squares unsweetened baking chocolate (4oz)
- 1 c butter (2 sticks)
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 t vanilla
- 1 1/4 c flour
- 1/2 t baking powder
Frosting
- 2 c powdered sugar
- 4 T butter, softened
- 1 1/2 t peppermint extract[1]
- 1-2 T milk
- green food coloring
Chocolate Glaze
- 6 oz (about 1 cup) semi-sweet (or dark) chocolate chips
- 6 T butter
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13 inch pan with parchment paper or foil making sure the foil extends over the edges by at least one inch. If using foil, lightly spray with non-stick spray and set aside.
Chop both unsweetened chocolate and two sticks of butter into chunks and place together in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until just melted and smooth. Set aside to cool, stirring occasionally.
With an electric mixer or stand mixer beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla for 2 minutes. While egg mixture is beating, measure out flour and combine with baking powder. While mixer is running, slowly add melted chocolate and beat to combine. Turn beater speed to low and add in flour by spoonfuls. Mix just until combined. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 20-30 minutes[2] or until a knife poked in center comes out (mostly) clean.
Cool completely on a metal rack. When brownies have cooled to room temperature, prepare frosting. Combine all frosting ingredients, starting with 1 1/2 tablespoon of milk, and beat until light and fluffy. Add more milk by teaspoonful as needed. Spread frosting evenly over brownies and then place brownies in fridge to chill.
While brownies are chilling prepare chocolate glaze. Place chocolate chips and 6 tablespoons butter in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until just melted and smooth. Set aside to cool for about 15 minutes and then carefully spread on top of the frosting layer. Return pan to fridge to cool. When chocolate has hardened, use edges of foil to remove entire brownie from pan. Cut into squares and serve.
