(To-die-for) Mint Brownies

Hey Everyone! Hope you're all doing well! I had an awesome weekend down in St. George watching my best friend run her first 5K! The wind was fierce and cold and my hands started to get red and hive covered... but I wouldn't have had it any other way. SO PROUD of her.

Alright. What you actually wanted... I know the real reason you follow my blog anyway.

For the brownies:

1 cup soft butter

2/3 c cocoa

1 ½ cup flour

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup white

^mix well^

(this is super thick and cookie-dough like before adding the eggs, don't ruin your mixer!)

4 eggs- one at a time

tsp vanilla

bake in 9x13 abt 25-27 mins

(Again, I apologize but I am awful when it comes to amounts but I'll do my best.) 

For the Mint Frosting:

¼ cup butter

1-2 cups powdered sugar

1 TB milk

make creamy

shake of salt

1tsp peppermint extract

(Vanilla if you wish)

You really have to be the judge on your frosting. If you think you need more add more milk and powdered sugar, its really all up to you.

Chocolate topping: 

melt ¼ cup butter

1 cup chocolate chips

Pour on the cooled brownies after the frosting has set so you don't smear it together!

Arissa was sick after running her race so I ran her some brownies and some icy hot, looking like this.
The things we do for each other!
