Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper.
- Melt 1 cup of salted butter and 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 4 large eggs until light and fluffy.
- Pour the cooled chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mix, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, and mix until combined.
- Sift together 1 cup of flour and 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, then fold gently into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- For the mint frosting, blend 1/2 cup of softened butter and 4 cups of powdered sugar until creamy, then add 2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream and 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract.
- Frost the cooled brownies with the mint frosting using an offset spatula.
- Heat 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream in a small saucepan until it simmers, then remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth.
- Pour the ganache over the frosted brownies and allow to set at room temperature or refrigerate for faster setting.
