Breakup Brownies

One of Miggity's close buddies broke up with his girlfriend. I made what I call "Breakup Brownies." Just the right amount of sweet, salty and cool. That translates to chocolate, salted cashews, semi-sweet chocolate chips and peppermint icing.
DIVINE!

I used Paula Deen's brownie recipe found here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/maggies-decadent-brownies-recipe/index.html
But what REALLY added the chill was the peppermint frosting!
Peppermint Buttercream Frosting
* 1/3 cup butter, softened
* 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
* 1 tablespoon milk
* 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
* 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add butter in mixer- mix for a minute till fluffy. Add all other ingredients one by one and mix till a good buttercream consistency is found. I had a brainwave while writing this recipe... add some orange liqueur to it!
