Brownies are a favorite for summer picnics, and these are the best! I received this recipe from a dear friend many years ago, and I still make it at least once a month. Whenever I'm asked to bring a dessert to an outing, or if I want to send a treat to a neighbor or friend, I always prepare these wonderful brownies. Ingredients:
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
4 eggs |
1 can (16 ounces) chocolate syrup |
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup chopped nuts |
icing: |
1-1/4 cups sugar |
6 tablespoons butter |
6 tablespoons milk or half-and-half cream |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add syrup. Gradually add flour and mix well. Fold in the nuts. Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan.
2. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Cool slightly.
3. Meanwhile, for icing, combine the sugar, butter and milk in a small saucepan. Cook and stir until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla and chocolate chips until chips are melted. (Mixture will be thin.) Immediately pour over brownies. Cool completely before cutting. Yield: about 3 dozen.
