In a stand mixer beat butter on high speed. Slowly add in powdered sugar, alternating with 1 tablespoon of milk.
Keep alternating until you reach desired consistency.
Add in 1-2 drops of green food coloring, and mint extract. Mix well.
Frost a thin layer of the mint green icing onto the chilled brownies.
Place in freezer to set.

Mix with the paddle attachment until well combined. Slowly add in powdered sugar, alternating with milk.
Keep adding, alternating, until you reach desired consistency. Then add in vanilla and mix well.
Add chocolate frosting to brownies that have been chilled well in freezer, so green icing is set and won't mix with chocolate frosting.
