STS Cookin’: Mint Chocolate Brownie Bars

In order to brighten up your Monday, I’ve decided to share a chocolate treat with you. I made this for the Auburn game and they are a chocolatey, rich, but not too filling brownie. The chocolate brownie is topped with mint buttercream frosting and a spread of chocolate ganache.

The original recipe can be found here at Sally’s Baking Addiction, but I made a change with the chocolate ganache. Rather than melt chocolate chips, I used baker’s chocolate and heavy cream with a smidge of butter.

Ingredients:

Brownies

1 cup unsalted butter

8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

4 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup + 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/4 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder

Mint Frosting Layer

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

2 cups confectioners' sugar

2 Tablespoons milk

1 and 1/4 teaspoons peppermint extract

1 drop liquid or gel green food coloring

Chocolate Layer

1/4 cup unsalted butter

1 cup heavy cream

12 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate

Instructions:

  • Move oven rack to lower 3rd position and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
