Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a 13×9 baking dish with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, mix butter, cocoa powder, and oil together, bringing to a boil while whisking continuously before removing from heat.
In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar, eggs, and buttermilk. Slowly incorporate the butter mixture without over mixing.
Add flour, baking soda, and salt, stirring until just combined, then fold in Andes mints.
Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 20 minutes. Allow to cool once removed from the oven.
Prepare the frosting by beating softened butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer for about 3-4 minutes until light and pale in color.
Add milk, powdered sugar, peppermint extract, and food coloring, beating for an additional 3-5 minutes until fluffy (adding more milk if needed).
Fold in mini chocolate chips and spread frosting over the cooled brownies. Refrigerate for two hours before cutting and serving.

Notes

Ensure the brownies are fully cooled before spreading on the frosting for the best texture.
Use additional milk in the frosting if a thinner consistency is desired.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
