Glazed Mint-Frosted Brownies image

I've been looking for this recipe. It is one of my favorite brownie recipes. The brownies are frosted with a mint frosting and then another layer of unsweetened chocolate goes on top that hardens. The sweetness and the bitterness make a very interesting combination.
