Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 oz green liquid food coloring
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 Tbsp butter, softened for frosting
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract for frosting
  • 1/8 tsp salt for frosting

Equipment

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with foil, extending over the edges, and lightly grease.
  2. Melt chocolate chips and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  3. Whisk in sugar, then add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Stir in flour, food coloring, baking powder, vanilla, and salt until combined.
  4. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 44–48 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  5. Cool brownies completely in the pan on a wire rack for about 2 hours before frosting.
  6. In a bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and salt. Mix in vanilla until fluffy.
  7. Lift brownies from pan, peel off foil, and spread frosting evenly. Cut into 16 squares. Optional: garnish with sprinkles.
