I was a little reluctant to try these brownies for one reason only. The picture that is all over Pinterest for these is the same picture that I saw when I saw the 37 Calorie Brownies. Yep. Same exact picture. And if you haven’t read about our 37 Calorie Brownies yet? You need to. Then you’ll understand why I was thinking “hmmmm…. should I trust the picture?”
I was so glad I made these! They were delish!
The frosting kind of soaks into the brownies a little making a delicious, moist layer. Next time I’ll not wait the 10 minutes to frost them, though. I’ll do it right out of the oven.
Recipe from: Saltbox House
Ingredients
- 1 cup of butter
- 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups of AP flour
- 2 cups of Sugar
- 4 Eggs
- 4 teaspoons of Vanilla
- 1/4 cup of softened Butter
- 1/4 cup of Evaporated canned Milk (regular milk is fine)
- 1/4 cup of unsweetened Cocoa
- 3 cups of Powdered Sugar
- Dash of Salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper
- Cream together butter and cocoa powder. Add flour and sugars, mix well. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until blended. Do not over mix.
- Spread into pan. (The batter will be thick so you will need to spread it evenly in the pan.)
- Bake for 20 - 30 minutes. Start checking after 20 minutes to make sure you don't over bake.
- While brownies are baking, make frosting. Mix all the frosting ingredients together until smooth.
- When brownies are done, remove from oven. Let sit for about 10 minutes and then frost warm brownies.
- Let sit until cool, then cut into squares.
- Enjoy!
Do you remember the brownies they used to serve at your school? These are totally it! They taste just the same. What a nostalgia flashback.
