Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter (for brownies)
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (for frosting)
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons crème de menthe liqueur
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter. Remove from heat and stir in the cocoa powder until smooth.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar to the saucepan and stir until fully incorporated. Let cool slightly.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully mixed before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until combined.

Step 6

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.

Step 8

To make the crème de menthe frosting, beat 0.5 cup of softened butter and 2 cups of powdered sugar together until smooth. Add the crème de menthe liqueur and mix until creamy and spreadable.

Step 9

Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set the frosting.

Step 10

For the chocolate glaze, melt 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 0.25 cup of unsalted butter in a double boiler or microwave in 20-second increments, stirring until smooth.

Step 11

Pour the chocolate glaze over the chilled frosting layer, spreading evenly. Refrigerate again until the glaze is set, about 1 hour.

Step 12

Cut into 16 squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
