14. Chocolate Lover's Frosting:
15. 3 C. sifted powdered sugar(I never do that though, lol)
16. 2/3C. cocoa
17. 1/2 C.(or 1 stick) butter, softened (I melt it though)
18. 5 to 6 Tablespoons milk
19. 1 teaspoon Vanilla
20. - Beat 1 C. powdered sugar, all the cocoa, all the butter, 2 T. milk, and vanilla, in a small bowl until creamy. Gradually beat in remaining sugar and milk, until smooth.
21. **Tips: I found that the frosting makes way to much for the brownies. Since, the brownies make 24 pieces, and the frosting makes 2 cups, I cut the frosting recipe in half because the first time I tried it, it was way to much frosting! And it was perfect. Heres the frosting recipe, cut in HALF:
22. 11/2 C. Powdered Sugar
23. 1/3 C. cocoa
24. 1/4 C.(1/2 stick) of butter or margine, softened, or melted
25. 3 T. Milk
26. 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
27. -Beat 1/2 C. powdered sugar, all cocoa, all the butter, 1 T. milk, and all vanilla in a bowl. Beat until Creamy. Then, add another 1/2 C. powdered sugar and another 1 T. milk, until creamy. Then add the last 1/2C. of powdered sugar and last tablespoon of milk!
28. Enjoy! :)
29. ***I use Hershey's cocoa in the batter mix, and for the brownie mix! I think it tastes BETTER!
