Frosted Fudge Brownies

　

Fudge brownies can be made in many different ways. The way I made it is with chocolate chips and chocolate frosting. You could also make it with nuts, or white chocolate chips (my favorite!) This is a super easy recipe, and it’s fun to experiment with. For example, you could dye the frosting green and red for Christmas, or orange for Thanksgiving and Halloween!


Ingredients:½ cup butter
3 oz unsweetened chocolate chips
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2/3 cup flour
¼ tsp baking soda
½ cup chopped nuts (optional)
1 batch of your favorite frosting (optional)


Method:
1. In a medium pan melt the butter and chocolate chips over low heat, stirring often. Remove from heat once completely melted and cool.

2. Meanwhile, grease an 8x8x2-inch or 9x9x2-inch baking pan; set aside. Add and stir in the sugar to the chocolate mix until combined, it will look like sand when it’s combined. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring before each addition. Add the vanilla and stir.

3. In a small bowl mix together the flour and baking soda. Add to the chocolate mixture; stir until combined (If desired, pour in nuts) and pour into the prepared pan.

4. Bake in a 350 F oven for 30 min. Cool on a wire rack or in the pan. Once cooled, frost them with your favorite frosting. (Optional)

Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting:

In a sauce pan melt 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips over low heat, stirring often. Remove from the heat; cool. In a small bowl, stir two 3 oz packages of softened cream cheese and ½ cup sifted powdered sugar. Add chocolate mix and stir until smooth.

~Nully’s Tips~

While you’re stirring, you could put

the flour and baking soda in the bowl and

the sugar in the measuring cup. It makes

the job WAY faster and easier!

The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge, And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge. ~Proverbs 18:15
