1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x13 pan. I like to line mine with parchment first so it's easy to remove in the end :) Set pan aside.
-
2.In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine butter, sugar, cocoa powder and vanilla. Mix on low until combined and smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each one.
-
3. Add flour and salt and stir just until combined.
-
4. Stir in chocolate chips.
-
5. Pour batter into your prepared pan and spread out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minute, careful not to over bake! You want them fudge :)

6. Let brownies cool completely.

7. Mint Filling: Combine all ingredients in a stand mixer (I used my whisk attachement) and beat until smooth and fluffy. Add only as much green dye as you want, or none at all!
-
8. Chocolate Ganache: Place all ingredients in a microwave proof bowl and microwave until the chocolate chips start to melt (about 1 minute) then stir. Microwave a little longer and stir until smooth. Let cool a few minutes
-
9. To assemble: When the brownies are completely cool spread the mint filling over the top of them then refrigerate the two layers for about 20 minutes to let the filling set up a little bit. Then pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the mint filling, spreading carefully with a knife to the edges. (If the chocolate ganache starts to thicken up, just zap it again in the microwave for a few minutes. My ganache was quite thin, so a just shook the pan to spread it out!) Place the pan back in the fridge for an hour, or until the chocolate layer is set. To serve, cut with a sharp knife and enjoy! (You can speed up any of the chilling times by placing in the freezer :) That's what I did because I couldn't wait!!
