If you love mint and chocolate you’ve come to the right place!  This decadent dessert combines mint brownies with a mint chip icing, reminiscent of mint chip fudge or ice cream.  It will be your new favorite chocolate fix!  The brownie layer on the bottom is gooey and dense, and the mint chip icing on top hardens into a silky sweet fudge layer.  You’re going to love them!

Ingredients:

For The Brownies:

3/4 Cup Canola Oil

Just Under 1 Cup Light Brown Sugar

Just Under 1 Cup White Cane Sugar

4 Eggs

1 Teaspoon Peppermint Flavor (I use the one from Simply Organic)

2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract

1 1/2 Cups Cocoa Powder

A Sprinkle Of Sea Salt

1/2 Cup Chocolate Chips

For The Icing:

1 Stick Butter

4 1/4 Cups Powdered Sugar

1/8 Cup Water

3 Teaspoons Peppermint Flavor

1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

3/4 Cup Chocolate Chips

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees

Grease a 9×13 glass pan

Beat the canola oil, brown sugar, and white sugar together on a low setting

Beat in the eggs on a low setting

Beat in the peppermint flavor and vanilla on a low setting

Beat everything together on a higher setting and then stir in the chips

Move into your pan and bake for around 25 minutes (start checking them around 20 minutes so you don’t overcook them)

After you have removed them from the oven and let them cool, you can make and add the icing:

Let the butter get to room temperate, and then beat it into a light consistency

Slowly beat in the powdered sugar

Beat in the water

Beat in the peppermint flavor and vanilla extract

Stir in the chips

Spread overtop of the brownies

Optional but suggested: Move the brownies into the refrigerator to solidify into a fudge-like consistency.  Then, before eating, they can be removed for a few minutes if you do not want to eat them cold.  Or, if you prefer, enjoy them right out of the fridge!

Enjoy!
