Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease and flour a baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) of softened butter and 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the vanilla extract, mixing until just combined.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  7. Bake for 25 to 28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan. They will shrink slightly from the sides.
  9. For the frosting, beat together 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of softened butter, 2 cups of confectioners' sugar, and 2 tablespoons of crème de menthe until smooth.
  10. Spread the mint frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
  11. Chill the frosted brownies in the refrigerator for one hour to set the frosting.
  12. Meanwhile, melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of butter and the 6 oz package of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
  13. Pour the melted chocolate ganache over the set frosting, spreading it gently to cover the top.
  14. Chill for another hour until the chocolate layer is firm. Cut into squares and serve.
