Prepare the buttermilk if making homemade.
Bring to a boil the water, butter and cocoa, then take off the heat.
In a medium bowl mix together the sugar, flour, xanthan gum, soda, and salt. A little at a time add to the cocoa mixture. Stir - don't beat.
Add the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Mix well.
Spread in a greased and floured jelly roll pan. Bake at 350º for 25 minutes.
Let brownies cool, then frost.
Beat together the butter, powdered sugar, mint extract, green food coloring and enough milk to reach the right consistency. Spread over cooled brownies.
Melt 1 bag chocolate chips using a double boiler and spread on top of frosting.
I make my own buttermilk, by putting 1/2 tablespoon vinegar in a 1/2 cup measuring cup. Then fill the rest with milk. Let it stand for 5 minutes.
