Instructions
Brownies
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 glass baking dish.
2. Combine butter, sugar, cocoa powder and vanilla. Mix on low until combined and smooth.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each one.

Mint Filling
1. Combine all ingredients and beat until smooth and fluffy.
2. Spread filling over cooled brownies. Put in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until the filling is thick and set.
Chocolate Ganache
