For a richer brownie, use dark chocolate instead of unsweetened chocolate in the brownie layer and glaze.
If you don't have peppermint extract, you can substitute with mint oil, using it sparingly as it is more concentrated.
To ensure a clean cut, use a warm knife to cut the chilled bars.
Store these bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

    I've made these brownies several times now, and they always come out perfect. Thanks for the great recipe!

    These were a huge hit at my party! Everyone loved the combination of chocolate and mint.

  • Laila Cronin

    I found the mint layer to be a little too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll reduce the amount of confectioners' sugar.
