Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together. Stir until smooth.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, espresso powder, and vanilla extract. Add the melted chocolate mixture and mix well.
-
In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the chocolate mixture, stirring until just combined.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
-
Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, mint extract, and green food coloring until smooth. Spread the mint frosting over the cooled bars.
-
Refrigerate the bars for at least 1 hour to set the frosting.
-
Cut into squares and serve.
