Brownies:

1 1/2 cups melted butter

3/4 cup cocoa

3 cups sugar

6 eggs, beaten

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

3/4 tsp salt

2 1/4 cups sifted flour

Mint Frosting Layer:

3 Tablespoons milk

3 cups powdered sugar

1 1/2 tsp peppermint extract

Green food coloring (optional)

Chocolate layer:

2 1/4 cups semi-sweet OR milk chocolate chips

3/4 cup butter

Directions:

Whisk together melted butter and cocoa. Add sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt. Mix well, then stir in flour by hand. Do not over mix. Spread in greased 12×17-inch cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 25-30 min. Cool and then put in the freezer for 20 minutes. For frosting, mix butter, milk, powdered sugar and extract. If you want to add color, add your food coloring (you could also use red food coloring). Frost brownies and then put in freezer for another 20 minutes. Melt chocolate chips and butter in a double boiler (or in the microwave) and spread on top of the frosting layer. Freeze another 20 minutes to set.
