    Mint Layer

    1. Using mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

    Chocolate Ganache

    1. Melt the butter and chocolate chips in microwave safe bowl in 20 second increments, stirring after each, in the microwave. Once melted and smooth, pour over mint layer. Gently spread with a knife or offset spatula.
