Best Brownies with Frosting

Melissa Coon

 

I got this recipe from a friend before I went to college. I used it a Ricks with great success. Tyler says it was this recipe and my pancake recipe that helped win him over. It is still a hit at our house, only now we have to double the recipe.

 

½ c. butter melted

1 c. sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

2 eggs

½ c. flour

⅓ C. cocoa

¼ tsp. baking powder

¼ tsp. salt

Heat oven to 350°. Grease 9 inch square baking pan. Stir together butter, sugar, vanilla. Add eggs and beat well. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt; add to egg mixture and beat until blended. Stir in nuts. Spread batter into pan. Bake 20-25 minutes.

 

Frosting

3 Tbs. butter softened

3 Tbs. cocoa

1 Tbs. light corn syrup or honey

½ tsp. vanilla

1 c. powdered sugar
