Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt, eggs, and egg yolks until smooth.
Melt butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler, then whisk until fully combined.
Whisk in the vegetable oil to the melted chocolate mixture and then pour this into the sugar mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.
Gently fold the flour and cocoa powder into the batter until just combined.
Pour brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, then place the Mint Oreos evenly on top and gently press down so they are embedded in the batter.
Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow brownies to cool.
For the ganache, place white chocolate chips in a heat-safe bowl. Heat heavy cream over medium heat until simmering but not boiling.
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let sit for 3 minutes. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Add green food coloring a few drops at a time until desired Grinch green color is reached.
Pour the ganache over the cooled brownies and spread evenly with a knife.
Sprinkle red and heart-shaped sprinkles over the ganache to decorate each brownie piece.
Let brownies sit for at least 1 hour to allow ganache to set before slicing and serving.
Notes
For best results, cool brownies completely before adding ganache. Store leftovers tightly wrapped.
