Step 3Mix flour and baking powder and stir into butter/egg mixture. Remove half of the batter to a separate bowl. Stir cocoa into one half of the batter. Add mint extract and food coloring to other half of the batter.

Step 4Drop batters by heaping tablespoonfulls alternating chocolate and green batters in marble cake fashion. Lightly swirl batter in pan.

Step 5Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Let cool.

Step 6Prepare ganache frosting by microwaving chocolate chips and heavy cream(start with 1 tbs of cream, you can add more if necessary) at 1 minute intervals at 50% power; stir. Repeat until frosting is smooth in texture. You should have a thick but pourable consistency. Pour on top of brownies and spread evenly. Let ganache set--about 1 hour. Makes 9 brownies.
