Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF (177ºC) and line an 8" or 9" square baking pan with foil, spraying with nonstick spray. Set aside.
Melt butter and chopped chocolate in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until smooth, then cool for 15 minutes.
Whisk sugars into the cooled chocolate mixture until combined. Add eggs one at a time, whisking until smooth, then mix in vanilla.
Gently stir in flour and salt until fully combined; pour batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Allow to cool completely before adding frosting and ganache.

Notes

Make sure to measure the flour properly for the best texture.
Allow the brownies to cool entirely in the pan before cutting to prevent them from becoming too crumbly.
Feel free to adjust the amount of peppermint extract to suit your taste.
