Thick Fudgy Frosted Brownies
These Thick Fudgy Frosted Brownies are moist, deeply chocolaty with a thick layer of fudgy dark chocolate frosting elevating them to over-the-top perfection. They're even perfectly fudgy without the frosting, so either way, they're a great choice for a chocolate snack or dessert brownie.

Ingredients
For the brownies:
- 1 cup melted butter slightly cooled
- 1 cup flour
- 2 cup sugar
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 eggs slightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 TBSP coffee
For the frosting:
- ½ cup butter
- 3 ½ cup confectioners sugar
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
For the brownies:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8x8 inch pan.
- Sift together the dry ingredients.
- Add the butter and vanilla, then add the eggs mixing well after each addition.
- Pour into the prepared pan and bake for about 30 to 40 minutes. Do not over bake. (I like to make my brownies a little underdone that way they do not dry out as fast.)
- Cool on wire rack.
For the frosting:
- Melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the remaining frosting ingredients, whisking until smooth and thickened.
- Pour over warm brownies, then let cool.
