Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 13×9 baking dish with parchment paper.
For the brownies, melt the unsalted butter, cocoa powder, and vegetable oil together in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk continuously until boiling, then remove from heat.
In a separate bowl, beat the granulated sugar, eggs, and buttermilk together. Gradually stir in the melted butter mixture without overmixing.
Add in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt, mixing gently until just combined. Fold in the Andes creme de menthe baking chips.
Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20 minutes. Afterwards, take them out and let them cool.
To prepare the frosting, beat the softened butter in a large bowl using an electric mixer for 3-4 minutes until pale.
Mix in the milk, powdered sugar, peppermint extract, and green food coloring. Beat for an additional 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy, adjusting consistency with more milk if needed. Finally, fold in the mini chocolate chips.
Spread the frosting over the cooled brownies and refrigerate for 2 hours to set. Cut into pieces and enjoy!

Notes

For an extra minty flavor, add more peppermint extract to the frosting.
Ensure the brownies are completely cooled before applying the frosting for the best texture.
Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
