Creamy Brownie Frosting

Delicious frosting! I think (okay, so I know) I preferred it straight from the bowl though!!! :D Anyway, this recipe makes about 1 cup of frosting (that's not including all the stuff that you eat before you frost the brownies!).

  • 3 tablespoons of butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons of cocoa
  • 1 tablespoon of light corn syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
  • 1 cup of powdered sugar
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk

Beat butter, cocoa, corn syrup and vanilla in small bowl. Add powdered sugar and milk; beat to spreading consistency.

This one's also from the Hershey's Best-Loved Recipes cookbook.

Best Brownies

We did this brownie recipe for the brownies we made while we worked at the Pickin' Parlor. They are really good! The frosting though! I'll post that recipe separately (more posts). ;)

  • 1/2 cup of butter, melted
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup of flour
  • 1/3 cup of cocoa
  • 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and grease and 9x9 baking pan (obviously we usually double this recipe). Stir together butter, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl. Add eggs; beat well with spoon. Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well blended. Stir in nuts, if desired. Spread into prepared pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from sides of pan. Enjoy!

This is one of my favorite dinners! I can have it made in about thirty minutes; it's so easy and everybody loves it! Hope you enjoy it as well!
