Ingredients
For the brownies:
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ cup chocolate syrup (any good quality)
- ¾ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
For the frosting:
- ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup chocolate syrup
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 13×9-inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the chocolate syrup, mixing until smooth. Fold in the nuts if using.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan.
- Let the brownies cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the frosting: beat the butter, chocolate syrup, and powdered sugar together until smooth and spreadable. Frost the cooled brownies, then cut into squares and enjoy!
