Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF (177ºC). Line an 8" or 9" square baking pan with foil and spray with nonstick spray. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and chopped chocolate, stirring frequently until smooth. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
Whisk sugar into cooled chocolate mixture. Add eggs one at a time, whisking until smooth. Stir in the vanilla. Add flour and salt, and gently combine until fully mixed.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center mostly comes out clean. Let brownies cool completely before preparing mint frosting and chocolate ganache.

Notes

Make sure to let the brownies cool completely for optimal layering.
Using room temperature eggs will help create a smoother batter.
Adjust the amount of peppermint extract based on your taste preference.
