Chocolate Frosted Brownies

 

( a neighbor lady brought these over a few years back , I ate the whole plate!  Well, I did freeze a few and ate one at a time, but when they were gone,  I couldn't stop thinking about them!  I had to have the recipe, and when I got the chance, she sent over the recipe with a fresh supply of brownies!  I am a brownie-a-holic I will confess.  I do hope to try this frosting on a homemade brownie as I think the frosting really makes it!)

**This recipe takes two bags of Ghirardelli  double chocolate brownie mix - the one with the chocolate chips in it,  ( the big box at Costco has the bags inside, so I would use two of the bags, or you can 1/2 the frosting and use one box that makes an 8x8 pan

Make up the brownie mix, making sure not to overbake!  

Frosting:

for a 9x13 pan ( 9x9 or 8x8 pan in parenthesis) :

** Melt 1/2 c. butter, add ( 1/4 c. butter)

     5 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa (2 1/2 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa)

     5 Tbsp. milk ( 2 1/2 Tbsp. milk)  bring to a boil.  Remove from stove and add:

     5 c. powdered sugar (2 1/2 c. powdered sugar)

     1 tsp. vanilla  (1/2 tsp. vanilla) 

** Frost and let set up, this is so yummy and fudgy!
