1 box favorite brownie mix

Mint frosting
3 cups powdered sugar
6 Tbsp Melted butter
4 Tbsp Milk
1/2 tsp mint extract
3-5 drops green food coloring, less drops for lighter green and more drops for darker green

Chocolate Topping
1 bag Milk Chocolate Chips
2 Tbsp Crisco
Andes Mints, optional

Make brownies according to instructions on box. Bake in 13x9 Pyrex dish. Let cool completely.

To make the mint frosting add the powder sugar, butter, milk, extract and food coloring together. Mix well with beaters until combined. Evenly spread over brownies. Place in fridge until it hardens, about 20 minutes.

In a glass bowl melt chocolate chips until melted. Add in Crisco, it helps spread easier (can you use butter). Quickly spread chocolate on top of mint frosting. Then sprinkle those yummy Andes mints on top and lightly press down so they stick to the chocolate. Refrigerate until chocolate has harden before serving.
