Brownie Ingredients

Method

Brownie Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

  2. 2

    Melt the Butter

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Mix the Ingredients

    Stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined. Mix in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just blended. Fold in the chopped nuts.

  4. 4

    Bake the Brownies

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

  5. 5

    Prepare Fudge Icing

    While the brownies are baking, prepare the fudge icing by melting 1/2 cup of unsalted butter in a saucepan. Stir in 2/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 cup of powdered sugar, adding 3 tablespoons of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.

  6. 6

    Ice the Brownies

    Once the brownies are cool, pour the fudge icing over the top and spread evenly. Allow to set before cutting into squares.
