chocoate bar for shaving or ganache recipe in notes

Instructions

Brownie layer:

In a large bowl add brownie mix and ingredients instructed on back of box. Mix well, pour into a parchement paper lined baking pan and bake for about 45 min or until done. Remove from oven and let cool completely before frosting

Mint Frosting

In a stand mixer, using your paddle attachment cream your butter for two minutes. Slowly add in all other ingredients and mix on med speed for about 5 minutes.
Spread evenly over brownies after they have cooled.

Topping layer:

Using a vegetable peeler, shave off the side of the chocoalte bar. Or pour ganache over frosting and let cool.

Notes

You can use two 8x8 or 9x13 brownie mix for the recipe. If using 2 9x13 brownie mixes I still recommend using a 9x13 pan so you can achieve a beautiful thick brownie to compliment the frosting. Add additional time for baking.

If you want to make a ganache layer for the topping here is the recipe instructions:

Heat cream in heavy saucepan over low-medium heat. Once cream has been steaming for several minutes, whisking constantly, remove from heat. Pour in chocolate chips. Let stand 5 minutes. Whisk together until chocolate has melted and ganache is smooth and shiny. Pour over cream cheese layer
Chill in refrigerator several hours.
Cut using sharp knife, ran under hot water, and cleaned between slices.
