1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
4 eggs
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 2/3 cup cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Mint Frosting:
1/2 cup butter
4-5 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk
4-5 teaspoons mint extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3-4 drops green food coloring
Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a 8x8 inch baking pan. Combine the brown and white sugar. Add the oil and beat until well mixed. Add the eggs and stir together. Add the extracts into the mixture. Beat at medium speed for two minutes. Add the salt and cocoa powder and blend until smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour into pan. Bake for 25 minutes. Let them cool before adding the frosting.
For the frosting. Beat the butter until it gets fluffy. Little by little add the powdered sugar and milk alternately. If it gets too thick add more milk and if it gets too thin add more powdered sugar. Add the vanilla. Beat in mint extract one teaspoon at a time until desired flavor is reached. Fold in the green food coloring one drop at a time until minty green is reached.
I made a sandwich type of brownies and added the frosting in the middle of two mini brownies, but you can add the frosting wherever you want. I love the taste of mint and chocolate together. I really enjoyed making this recipe. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Tell me what you think about it.
Treat yourself!
