Ingredients
- 1 box Brownie mix (plus eggs, oil, and water needed according to the back of the brownie box)

Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet with
- Preheat oven to temperature according to the instructions on the brownie box. Various size cake pans will bake at different temperatures.
- Mix the brownie batter with the eggs, oil, and water. Don't overmix the batter! Overmixing causes a cake-like texture as opposed to the desired fudgy brownie texture.
- Bake the brownies according to the instructions on the back of the brownie box. Various size cake pans will bake for different lengths of time.
- Allow the baked brownies to cool completely. If you're in a hurry, place the brownies in the refrigerator to speed up the cooling process.
- Place the frosting in a mixing bowl. Mix in food coloring to achieve the desired shade of green.
- Mix in the mint extract.
- Frost the cooled brownies. Use as much frosting as desired. I prefer a thin layer, which means I don't use all of the frosting. Frost to your heart's desire :)
- Place the brownies in the refrigerator to stiffen the frosting while you prepare the chocolate.
- Placed unwrapped Dove chocolates in a microwave-safe dish. Melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the mint frosting. Smooth the chocolate into an even layer.
- Allow the chocolate to cool and harden. If you're in a hurry, pop the mint brownies in the refrigerator to speed up the cooling process.
- Using a large kitchen knife, cut the brownies into small squares. Enjoy!
