Posted in : Dessert, Vegetarian on May 23, 2016 by : wendland99

Original recipe from Bonneville Junior High Cafeteria via Saltbox House.

• 2 sticks butter
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups sugar
• 4 eggs
• 4 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

For Frosting – make while the brownies bake!

• ¼ cup softened butter
• ¼ cup milk
• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• Dash salt

Beat all the ingredients together. Frost brownies while still warm.
Melt the butter in the microwave and pour into a mixing bowl. Add the cocoa and mix until smooth. Add the flour and sugar and mix to combine. Add eggs, vanilla and nuts (if you are using). Mix until just combined. Don’t overmix! Pour into a greased and floured 9×13 baking pan. Batter will be thick.

Bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes or until cake tests done. Wait 10 minutes to frost the brownies. You want to frost them when they are warm. Let cool before cutting and serving.
