Heat oven to 325°F (350°F for glass pan). Grease the bottom of a 9-inch square pan with shortening or cooking spray. Make the brownie batter as directed on the box. Stir in 2/3 cup chocolate chips. Spread in the pan.
Bake 35 to 38 minutes (29 to 32 minutes for glass pan) or until a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the side of the pan comes out almost clean. Cool completely on a cooling rack, about 1 1/2 hours.
In a small bowl, stir all Frosting ingredients using a spoon until well blended. Spread frosting over the brownies.
In a 1-quart saucepan, heat 1/3 cup chocolate chips, butter, and corn syrup over low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon hot water at a time, until mixture is thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over the frosted brownies. Refrigerate about 30 minutes or until the chocolate glaze is firm. Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows. Store in a single layer in a covered container at room temperature.
Switch up the flavors in this brownie. Try using raspberry-flavored chocolate chips in place of the mint chocolate chips and tint the frosting pink instead.
If you like nuts, pecans are delicious in this recipe. Stir in 2/3 cup when you add the chocolate chips to the batter.
The secret to easy brownie cutting is lining the pan with foil. Turn the pan upside down and mold a piece of foil over the outside, then remove it and press the shaped foil into the pan. When baked, lift the brownies out using the foil, peel it back, and cut into bars. It also makes cleanup easy.
