Description

Seriously, you’ll never make brownies from a box again. Tried and true. Never fail. Add this to your recipe file immediately.

Ingredients

  • FOR BROWNIES:
  • 1 Cup Melted Butter
  • 2 Cups Granulated Sugar
  • 2 Teaspoons Vanilla
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 Cup Flour
  • 2/3 Cup Cocoa
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • FOR FROSTING:
  • 6 Tablespoons Softened Butter
  • 6 Tablespoon Cocoa
  • 2 Tablespoons Light Corn Syrup
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
  • 2 Cups Powdered Sugar
  • 3-5 Tablespoons Milk

Preparation

Blend first 3 ingredients. Add each egg one at a time just until incorporated. Sift and then add last 3 ingredients. Spread into a greased 9×13 pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Cool completely.

Cream first 4 ingredients for the frosting. When mixed, add powdered sugar until blended. Add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until you reach the desired consistency.

These are so rich and sweet and decadent, you’ll want to add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to the top. Take a bite. Are we in heaven? No…it’s just the brownies.

I’ve made these several times now…they are so good. Once my boys spot them the magically disappear!

This is a split review. The brownie itself is fine, but nothing exciting. Three stars. But the icing. Oh, the icing. Total keeper. Five starts.

Used the brownie recipe to make salt caramel brownies. With the addition of 1/2 t. baking powder they puff up and become more cakelike. I’m a fudge lover myself, but still a tasty recipe.
