Ingredients
  

For the brownies:

  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/2 all-purpose flour
  • 1 oz bottle of green liquid food coloring
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/8 tsp salt

For cream cheese frosting:

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 3 tbsp butter softened to room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • green sprinkles optional

Instructions
 

For the brownies:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line the bottom of a 9 inch square pan with aluminum foil, and then lightly grease as well.
  • Microwave chocolate chips and butter together until melted together. About 90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds.
  • Whisk in the sugar and then add in the eggs, one at a time. Blend after each addition and then gently stir in the flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, salt, and the green food coloring.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the brownies comes out clean.
  • Cool brownies on wire rack completely, about 2 hours, before frosting them.

For the cream cheese frosting:

  • Beat cream cheese and butter together at medium speed until creamy. Add in powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla and mix until combined.
  • Spread cream cheese frosting on top of cooled brownies and cut into 16 squares.
  • Top with St Patrick's Day themed sprinkles and enjoy!
