This brownie recipe is unlike any other brownie out there. This indulgent dessert features a rich, thick cake fudge brownie as its base and is topped with the most delicious fudge frosting creating the most decadent melt-in-your-mouth brownie ever! Prep Time30 minutes Cook Time30 minutes Additional Time20 minutes Total Time1 hour 20 minutes Ingredients • 3 sticks (24 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature • 2 cups granulated sugar • 2 large eggs, room temperature • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract • 1 cup milk (suggest using 2% or whole) • 3//4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder • 2 cups all-purpose flour • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature • 6 tablespoons milk (use at least 2% milk fat) • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar • 1 cup milk chocolate chips • 1/2 teaspoon salt Instructions • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9×13 baking pan with non-stick spray. You can also line the pan with parchment paper, making sure the sides hang over the edge of the pan. You can then remove the brownies using the parchment paper to make it easier for cutting. • Using a stand-alone mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (hand-held mixer works, too) cream together butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary. • Mix the dry ingredients into a bowl: cocoa powder, flour and salt. • Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk mixing on low speed until incorporated – dry ingredients, milk, dry ingredients, milk then dry ingredients. • Pour into prepared pan, spread evenly and bake for 30 minutes. Once done baking, let cool for 20-30 minutes before frosting. Don’t completely cool though…you want the brownies to be slightly warm when frosted. To make the frosting add the butter, milk and granulated sugar to a saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and boil for one minute. Remove from heat, whisk in salt and 1 cup milk chocolate chips. Whisk vigorously until smooth then immediately pour onto warm brownies spreading before it starts to set - an offset spatula works well for this. The frosting starts to harden quickly so work fast! Let brownies set for at least an one hour before cutting into #geekbar #lostmary #elfbar #nic - @bigpacsboys1
