Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 6-ounce unsweetened chocolate
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/4 cup flour
• 3/4 cup butter (softened)
• 3 ounces cream cheese (softened)
• 2 teaspoons mint extract
• 5 drops green food coloring
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

Method

1. Heat the oven to 350°F, line a 13x9-inch pan with foil, and coat the lined pan lightly so the mint brownie slab releases cleanly.
2. Melt the cup of butter with the unsweetened chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring until the brownie chocolate is smooth, then stir in the sugar, vanilla and salt.
3. Add the eggs and flour to the chocolate mixture and stir the mint brownie batter until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
4. Spread the batter across the prepared pan and bake the brownie base for 40 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick from the centre comes out clean, then cool the slab completely.
5. Beat the 3/4 cup of softened butter with the softened cream cheese until smooth, add the mint extract, green food colouring and powdered sugar, and beat the mint frosting until creamy and spreadable.
6. Spread the green mint frosting over the cooled brownie base and refrigerate the frosted slab for 30 minutes so the middle layer chills firm.
7. Melt the 1/2 cup of butter with the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring the ganache until smooth and glossy.
8. Spread the warm ganache over the chilled mint layer and refrigerate the mint brownies for 1 to 3 hours, until the chocolate top sets and the slab slices cleanly.
