Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a 13×9 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan, combine the butter, cocoa powder, and oil over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil while whisking continuously, then remove from heat.
In a large bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, eggs, and buttermilk. Slowly incorporate the butter mixture, being careful not to over mix.
Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in the Andes mints.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20 minutes. Allow cooling once baked.
To prepare the frosting, beat the softened butter in a large bowl using an electric mixer for 3-4 minutes until pale.
Mix in the milk, powdered sugar, peppermint extract, and green food coloring, beating until fluffy and light, adding more milk if necessary. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
Spread the frosting over the cooled brownies and refrigerate for 2 hours to set before cutting.

Notes

Make sure not to over mix the batter for a fudgy texture.
Feel free to adjust the amount of peppermint extract based on your taste preference.
Refrigerating the brownies enhances the flavor and gives a better texture.
