Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF (177ºC). Prepare an 8" or 9" square baking pan with foil and nonstick spray. Set aside.
Melt the butter and chopped chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Cool for about 15 minutes.
Whisk the sugars into the cooled chocolate until blended. Add the eggs one by one, whisking until smooth after each addition, then stir in vanilla. Gently mix in the flour and salt until fully combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Let cool completely before adding the next layers.

Notes

Allow the brownies to cool completely before frosting for best results.
Feel free to adjust the amount of peppermint extract to your taste preference for more or less mint flavor.
