Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 13×9 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the unsalted butter, cocoa powder, and vegetable oil. Bring to a boil while whisking continuously, then remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, eggs, and buttermilk. Gradually stir in the butter mixture, being careful not to overmix. Then add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in the Andes creme de menthe baking chips.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
For the frosting, in a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer for 3-4 minutes until pale in color. Then add the milk, powdered sugar, peppermint extract, and green food coloring. Continue beating for an additional 3-5 minutes until the frosting is light and fluffy, adding more milk if necessary. Fold in the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Spread the frosting over the cooled brownies. Refrigerate for 2 hours until set. Cut into squares and enjoy.

Notes

Allow the brownies to cool completely before frosting for best results.
If the frosting is too thick, add a splash of milk to achieve your desired consistency.
These brownies can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
