Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a 13×9 baking dish with parchment paper.
For the brownies, combine butter, cocoa powder, and oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil while whisking, then remove from heat.
In a large bowl, mix granulated sugar, eggs, and buttermilk. Slowly add the butter mixture, avoiding over-mixing. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined, then fold in Andes mints.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared dish and bake for 20 minutes. Allow to cool once done.
For the frosting, use an electric mixer to beat butter until pale, about 3-4 minutes. Add milk, sugar, peppermint extract, and food coloring, mixing for another 3-5 minutes until fluffy. Add more milk if needed and fold in chocolate chips.
Spread frosting over the cooled brownies and refrigerate for 2 hours until set. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

Ensure the brownies are completely cooled before adding the frosting for the best texture.
Use an electric mixer for the frosting for a light and fluffy result.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
