Ingredients
For the brownies:
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
- 3/4 cup butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour
For the fudge frosting:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup milk
- 5 TBSP butter
- 1 cup Ghirardelli chocolate baking chips
Instructions
For the brownies:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Prepare a 9 x 13" baking pan by lining it with parchment paper and then spraying it with baking spray or butter.
- In a large bowl melt butter and chocolate. You can use the microwave but I use a double boiler.
- Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir occasionally until the butter and chocolate are melted.
- Add the sugar and mix well.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and stir until combined.
- Add the flour and mix until just incorporated.
- Pour mixture into pan.
- Bake 25-30 minutes. I like to bake them until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean with a few crumbs on it. Do not over bake.
For the fudge frosting:
- Put first three ingredients in a saucepan on low.
- Let the sugar dissolve and then bring to a boil.
- Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips.
- With a wire whisk mix until creamy and cooled.
- Then frost your brownies or cake and enjoy.
