Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a 13×9 baking dish with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan, combine unsalted butter, cocoa powder, and vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil while whisking continuously, then remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, eggs, and buttermilk. Slowly add the butter mixture without overmixing.
Incorporate the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the Andes creme de menthe baking chips.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared dish and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
To prepare the frosting, beat the softened butter in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer for 3-4 minutes until pale in color.
Add milk, powdered sugar, peppermint extract, and green food coloring, then beat for an additional 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy. Adjust with more milk if necessary and fold in the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Once the brownies are cool, spread the frosting on top. Refrigerate for two hours until set, then cut and serve.

Notes

Ensure your butter is softened before making the frosting for easy mixing.
Feel free to adjust the amount of peppermint extract to suit your taste.
If the frosting is too thick, add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
