Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350ºF (177ºC). Line an 8" or 9" square baking pan with foil and apply nonstick spray. Set this aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter along with chopped chocolate, stirring frequently until smooth. Let it cool for about 15 minutes.
Whisk in the sugars until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gently add the flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Allow the brownies to cool completely before adding the frosting and ganache.

Notes

Ensure to let the brownie base cool completely before adding toppings for best results.
Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter.
Feel free to adjust the amount of peppermint extract to suit your taste.
