Hmmmmmmmmmmmm brownies! I love brownies. This recipe is simple, quick and they are really good. I usually forego the frosting, cut them up really small and add them to ice cream sundaes.
Devilish!

Best chocolate brownies ever

1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
½ cup flour
1/3 cup cocoa
¼ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
½ cup chopped nuts Frosting:
3 tbsp butter or margarine, softened
3 tbsp cocoa
1 tbsp corn syrup or honey
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 cup icing sugar
1 to 2 tbsp milk

Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 9" square baking pan.

Stir together butter, sugar and vanilla in bowl. Add eggs; beat well with spoon. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add to egg mixture, beating until well blended. Stir in nuts, if desired. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.

Meanwhile, combine butter, cocoa, corn syrup, milk and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Beat with electric mixer on slow speed. Slowly add icing sugar until well combined. Spread on cooled brownies.
