The Kitchn: Festive brownies fit for your St. Patrick's Day celebration
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
Pinch kosher salt
2 cups powdered sugar
For the ganache:
6 ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
Make the brownies
1. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 350 F. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with parchment paper so that it hangs over two sides of the pan. Lightly grease the pan and parchment with cooking spray or butter.
2. Melt the butter and chocolate in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the cocoa powder, sugar and vanilla until no lumps remain. Let sit for 5 minutes so the cocoa powder can bloom.
3. Whisk the eggs in one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the flour and salt and fold in with a rubber spatula.
