Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie cake mix (18 oz) baked according to package instructions
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips folded into the brownie batter
Mint Filling
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp light cream
- 1/4 tsp pure mint extract use up to 1/2 tsp
- 5 drops natural green food coloring optional
Topping

Instructions
- Whip up your favorite brownie mix according to the package directions, folding in the chocolate chips for a rich antioxidant boost. Bake in a square pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Create a lighter, fluffy mint layer by beating the softened butter with the powdered sugar. Gently stir in the mint extract and green food coloring, then add the cream half a tablespoon at a time until smooth and creamy.
