Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a 13×9 baking dish with parchment paper and set it aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the butter, cocoa powder, and oil over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil while whisking continuously and then remove from heat.
In a large bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, eggs, and buttermilk. Gradually add the butter mixture, being careful not to over-mix. Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Gently fold in the Andes mints.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20 minutes. Then remove from the oven and let cool completely.
To prepare the frosting, use an electric mixer on the butter for 3-4 minutes until it becomes pale. Next, add the milk, powdered sugar, peppermint, and food coloring, beating until the mixture is light and fluffy; add more milk if necessary. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
Spread the frosting over the cooled brownies and refrigerate for two hours until set. Cut into squares and enjoy.

Notes

Make sure the brownies are completely cooled before frosting to avoid melting.
Feel free to adjust the amount of green food coloring to achieve your preferred shade.
For a more minty flavor, you can add additional peppermint extract to the frosting.
