How do I make chocolate ganache?

The process will take a few minutes, but you need to heat up the heavy whipping cream and pour it over the chocolate chips and butter. I slowly mixed this together until the ganache came together. You just have a few minutes to do this before the chocolate gets hard.

How do I store leftovers?

Store brownies in a container in the fridge. The chocolate ganache has to be in the fridge so it doesn’t melt on the counter.

Can I use a different brownie mix?

Yes! I used Betty Crocker™ Fudge Brownie Mix, but you can use another favorite brownie mix from Betty for the Brownie Base if you'd like.

Instructions

Step
1

Heat your oven to 350°F. Line your 9-inch square pan with cooking parchment paper. This helps the brownies easily slide out of the pan.
Step
2

Prepare the Brownie Base according to the step by step instructions on brownie mix box, using brownie mix, water, oil, and eggs. Pour the brownie mixture into your prepared pan; bake for 33 to 36 minutes. Cool.
Step
3

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, add all of the Mint Frosting ingredients and slowly mix until combined. Spread the frosting over the cooled brownies. Then, I popped this in the fridge for 1 hour for the frosting to set.
Step

Meanwhile, add the heavy whipping cream to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. In another bowl, add the chocolate chips and butter. Pour the warm cream over the chocolate chips and butter. Let that sit for 1 minute, and slowly mix until smooth. Pour the ganache over the mint frosting, and let it sit in the fridge for 1 hour until the chocolate ganache is set.

Slice and enjoy!
