Instructions
- To make the brownies: add all ingredients to mixing bowl and mix until smooth.

- Pour in powdered sugar and milk. Add peppermint extract.
- Blend on high until fully mixed, feel free to add more milk to reach the desired texture.
- Wait till brownies are cool. Apply on top of brownies.
- Prepare the chocolate ganache: melt the butter and chocolate chips on the stovetop over low heat. Make sure to stir consistently.
