FROSTING
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup chopped nuts optional
3 cups confectioners sugar
1/2 cup butter melted, no subs
4 tablespoons cocoa
4 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS:
Bring to boil in the microwave, the butter, cocoa and 1 tablespoon of milk.
In a mixing bowl, add confectioners’ sugar. Add the cocoa mixture to the sugar and beat well. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Add the rest of the milk. Add enough to get the desired spreading consistency.
Let brownies cool about 5-10 minutes. Spread icing on brownies. Sprinkle with some more chopped nuts, if desired. The icing will harden to a fudge-like consistency.
Let brownies cool completely before cutting into squares.
