Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a 13×9 baking dish with parchment paper.
In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine butter, cocoa powder, and oil. Bring to a boil while whisking continuously, then remove from heat.
In a large bowl, mix granulated sugar, eggs, and buttermilk. Slowly add the butter mixture without overmixing. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Fold in Andes baking chips.
Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and bake for 20 minutes. Allow to cool after removing from the oven.
To make the frosting, beat softened butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer for 3-4 minutes until pale. Add milk, powdered sugar, peppermint extract, and food coloring. Beat for an additional 3-5 minutes until fluffy, adding more milk if necessary. Fold in mini semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Spread the frosting over the cooled brownies and refrigerate for 2 hours to set before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

Ensure the butter is at room temperature for the frosting to achieve the best texture.
Feel free to adjust the amount of peppermint extract based on your personal taste.
The brownies are best enjoyed chilled after the frosting has set.
