*to prepare:

Preheat oven 350 degrees. Grease an 8" x 8" baking pan with butter. sit aside.
In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, white sugar, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract until blended.
Add the eggs to a large bowl and stir until combined.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add ½ cup of the chocolate chips and stir to coat with the flour mixture.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture and stir until the flour mixture is smooth and no longer appears.
Pour batter to prepared pan. Spread to evenly distribute the mixture.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. It's okay to have a few crumbs sticking to the toothpick. We take it out of the oven and cool completely.
To make the mint buttercream, put the powdered sugar, butter, mint extract, and green food coloring in a bowl. Mix and then beat for 1 minute. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk to thin to a spreadable consistency. Spread over cooled brownies.
To make the chocolate fudge, place 1 cup of the chocolate chips and butter in the oven bowl. Microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Leave it to cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
Spread the chocolate fudge over the mint buttercream.
Refrigerate the chocolate until the chocolate has hardened and the mint buttercream has the consistency, about 45-60 minutes.
Take the brownies out of the fridge. Using a thin sharp knife, cut into 16 squares.
Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days…..if it lasts that long

Enjoy!
