~Making the Brownies:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Line a 9 inch by 9 inch pan with parchment paper or aluminium foil and grease lightly. Leave enough aluminum foil overhanging on the sides to lift the brownies out of the pan. Set aside.

Step 6: Pour the melted butter into brownie mixture and mix until just incorporated.
Step 7: Spread batter in a prepared 8-inch square pan and bake for 20 - 22 minutes.
Step 8: Cool completely. Press the brownies down with your hand gently, so they are even all over.
~Making the Frosting:
Step 9: Stir together the mint extract and the sweetened condensed milk.
Step 10: In a large sauce pan combine the white chocolate chips, the butter, and the sweetened condensed milk.
Step 11: Stir until melted and creamy.
Step 12: Add the marshmallow cream and stir until melted.
Step 13: Add a little green gel color until it is the desired green color of your choice.
Step 14: Pour on top of the cooled brownies.
Step 15: Sprinkle the top with the chopped cookie crumbs.
Step 16:Press into the fudge gently with the back of a spoon.
Step 17: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before trying to cut into squares.
