Best Brownies

I'd like to take this blogging opportunity to share with you the most amazing brownie recipe.  I found this recipe on Allrecipes.com and have since added and subtracted my own elements having since created a masterpiece.  I am currently waiting for this fresh batch of devilishly decadent brownies to come piping hot out of the oven, even though I am on a diet (yeah right!), and thought I'd take this time to share this recipe with you.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 cup white sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips (or more if you're feeling saucy)

Frosting:

3 tablespoons butter, softened

3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup confectioner's sugar

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour an 8 inch square pan.

In a large saucepan, melt butter.  Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla.  Beat in cocoa, flour, salt, baking powder, and chocolate chips.  Spread batter into prepared pan.

Bake for 25-30 minutes.  Do not overcook.

To make frosting:  Combine butter, cocoa, honey, vanilla, and sugar.  Frost brownies while still warm

FOR YOUR INFORMATION

These are incredibly gooey brownies, so if that's not your thing than these probably are not for you, and they're NOT low in fat, so if you're on a diet avoid these like the plague.

Enjoy!!
