Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F and line a 13×9 baking dish with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine butter, cocoa powder, and oil. Bring to a boil while whisking continuously, then remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together granulated sugar, eggs, and buttermilk. Gradually stir in the butter mixture without overmixing. Add flour, baking soda, and salt, stirring just until combined, then fold in the Andes mints.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
For the frosting, in a large bowl, beat softened butter with an electric mixer for 3-4 minutes until pale. Add milk, powdered sugar, peppermint extract, and food coloring, then beat for another 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy, adding more milk if necessary. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
Spread the frosting over the cooled brownies. Refrigerate for two hours to set, then cut and enjoy.

Notes

Make sure the brownies are completely cooled before adding the frosting for the best texture.
Feel free to adjust the amount of green food coloring to achieve your desired shade.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
