2/3 cup butter, melted 2 eggs, lightly beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups sugar 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour ¾ cup baking cocoa ½ teaspoon baking soda ¼ teaspoon salt ½ cup water 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips Glaze: ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips ¼ cup milk 2 tablespoons butter 1 ¼ cups confectioners’ sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract In a large bowl, combine the butter, eggs, and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients; add to butter mixture. Stir in water and chocolate chips until blended. Pour into a greased 13-in x 9-in x 2-in baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until brownies pull away from the sides of the pan. Cool on a wire rack. In a small saucepan, combine the chips, milk and butter. Cook until melted; stir until smooth. Remove from the heat; whisk in the confectioners’ sugar and vanilla until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or until chilled; frost brownies. (I just poured the mixture on the brownies right after I mixed it together. ) Cut into bars. |
