1. Prepare the Crust:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, mix melted butter and sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla. Combine flour, cocoa, and salt; gradually stir into the egg mixture. Fold in chocolate chips. Spread batter into prepared pan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs. Cool completely in pan.
For mint layer: beat powdered sugar, softened butter, milk, and peppermint extract until smooth. Tint with green food coloring if desired. Spread over cooled brownies. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
For glaze: melt chocolate chips and butter over low heat, stirring until smooth. Cool slightly, then spread over mint layer. Chill until set before cutting into squares.
