Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a 13×9 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the butter, cocoa powder, and oil. Whisk continuously until the mixture comes to a boil, then remove it from the heat.
In a large mixing bowl, mix the granulated sugar, eggs, and buttermilk. Gradually add the butter mixture, mixing carefully to avoid over mixing. Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined, then fold in the Andes mints.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared dish and bake for 20 minutes. Once baked, allow to cool completely.
For the frosting, in a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer for 3-4 minutes until pale. Add milk, powdered sugar, peppermint extract, and food coloring. Continue beating for 3-5 minutes until the frosting is light and fluffy, adding more milk if necessary. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
Spread the whipped frosting over the cooled brownies. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set, then cut into squares and serve.

Notes

Make sure the brownies cool completely before spreading the frosting for best results.
Feel free to adjust the amount of peppermint extract in the frosting to suit your taste.
Use a sharp knife to cut the brownies for clean edges.
