Chocolate Frosted Brownies
Chocolate is always a treat. Brownies with frosting double the treat. In fact if you remove the brownies from the oven and immediately cover them with mini marshmallows and then frost them when cooled, it has just tripled the treat!! There is nothing worse than a dry brownie. Over cooking is the surefire way to ruin a brownie. I like to bake my brownies from scratch, but there are some mixes out there that are pretty hard to beat, especially the dark chocolate ones. Also, adding a few chocolate chips on top of the batter before baking does add some chewiness to the mix. Here is one recipe that I often use. Frost with your favorite chocolate frosting
Fudgey Brownies
3/4 cup cocoa
1/2 tsp. soda
2/3 cup oil
1/2 cup boiling water
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 1/3 cup flour
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
1. Stir cocoa & soda in a bowl. Blend in 1/3 cup of the oil. Add the water and stir until it thickens.
2. Stir in sugar, eggs, and remaining oil and keep stirring until smooth.
3. Add flour, vanilla, and salt and mix thoroughly.
4. Pour into a lightly greased 13 x 9 pan, sprinkle with the choc. chips, and bake at 350* for 30-35 minutes. Less is best.
