Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 Tablespoon milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • Optional: 8-10 drops green food coloring
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Instruction

  • Pre-heat oven to 350°F and grease or line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Melt butter and chocolate chips in microwave or double boiler. If microwaving, melt in 25-second increments, stirring in between, for approximately 1 - 1 1/2 minutes. Pour into mixing bowl if double broiling and set aside to cool slightly. Meanwhile, stir together flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  • Whisk the sugar into melted chocolate. Add eggs one at a time, whisking between each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. Fold in the dry ingredients.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes until edges are set and center doesn't jiggle. A toothpick should come out with moist crumbs to ensure you'll have fudgy brownies! Let brownies cool completely before frosting.
