Moist Brownies, from my Grandmother Clara, are a fabulous brownie recipe with the best and simplest frosting you'll ever make. I remember making them with her my first year of college, when they still lived in the same small town.
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 (16-ounce) can chocolate syrup (like Hershey's syrup)
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped walnuts, if desired
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 (11.5-ounce) package milk chocolate chips
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In large bowl, combine butter and sugar and beat until very fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then stir in vanilla and chocolate syrup.
Put cocoa powder, flour and salt in a sifter and sift into the bowl; mix just until combined, then stir in walnuts. Pour into greased 9" x 13" jelly roll pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until just set. Cool on wire rack while preparing frosting.
For frosting, combine 1 cup sugar, milk, and 2 tablespoons butter in heavy saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add the milk chocolate chips; stir until blended. Spread on the partially cooled brownies immediately. Let stand until cool, then cut into bars. Makes about 48 brownies
