Phase 1: Prepare the Fudgy Brownie Base
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. Lightly grease the parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined and glossy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture is creamy and pale. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Pour the brownie batter into your prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still looks slightly jiggly when you gently shake the pan. A wooden skewer inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter. Let the brownie base cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Phase 2: Create the Creamy Mint Frosting
- While the brownies are cooling, prepare the mint frosting. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, alternating with the milk or heavy cream, until smooth and creamy. Mix in the mint extract.
- If desired, add a few drops of green food coloring and mix until you achieve your desired shade of green.
Phase 3: Assemble the Triple Layer Fudgy Mint Oreo Brownies
- Once the brownie base is completely cool, spread the mint frosting evenly over the top.
- Next, sprinkle the crushed Mint Oreos generously over the frosting layer. Gently press them down lightly so they adhere to the frosting.
- For the best results and clean slicing, refrigerate the frosted brownies for at least 30 minutes, or until the frosting is firm. Use the parchment paper overhangs to lift the chilled brownies from the pan onto a cutting board. Slice into squares and enjoy your delicious triple layer fudgy mint oreo brownies!

Notes
For best results, slightly underbake the brownies for fudginess and always cool completely before frosting. Chill frosted brownies for at least 30 minutes for clean slicing. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerated for up to 5 days. These brownies freeze well for up to 3 months.
