Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF (177ºC). Line an 8" or 9" square baking pan with foil and spray with nonstick spray. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and chopped chocolate, stirring frequently until completely smooth. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
Whisk sugar into the cooled chocolate mixture until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition until smooth. Whisk in the vanilla. Add the flour and salt and stir gently until completely combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake brownies for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Allow brownies to cool completely before moving on to the mint frosting and chocolate ganache layers.

Notes

For a stronger mint flavor, adjust the peppermint extract to your taste.
Ensure brownies are cooled completely before adding frosting to retain the best texture.
Feel free to decorate with additional chocolate chips or sprinkles on top.
