Chocolate Ganache

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Place the chocolate chips in a mixing bowl and pour the melted butter over them. Let sit for a couple of minutes and then whisk together until melted.

- Add the flour and salt. Mix just until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs. Let cool completely before frosting.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, milk, peppermint extract, and green food coloring. Mix until smooth and fluffy.
- Spread the mint frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
- Place chocolate chips in a bowl and set aside.
- In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, warm the heavy cream until it just turns hot (not boiling).
- Pour the warm cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for a minute, then stir until smooth.
- Spread the ganache over the mint frosting and smooth it out evenly.
- Chill the brownies in the fridge for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
