In our house, I bake brownies when someone has earned enough brownie points. Any good deeds are noted and sometimes, the time just seems right…could be a Valentine’s Day treat!
This recipe was given to me by my mother. The key to Chocolate Brownies, is to cook them until they are just barely cooked in the centre. If there are a few crumbs on the tester, then you only need one more minute to finish them. If they are overcooked, they will be dry and tough.
The Chocolate Frosting recipe is a very versatile one. It makes enough to frost a two layer cake, but I generally use it for Brownies….too much icing you say? I agree, but fortunately it freezes beautifully and when microwaved is just like fresh icing again.
