- 1 cup flour
- 1 (16 ounce) can Hershey’s syrup
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- Icing:
- 3 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted (no substitutes)
- 4 tablespoons cocoa
- 4 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Step-by-step Directions
1. Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease the bottom of a 10 by 15 inch pan.
2. Mix Butter and Sugar
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and then cream it together with the granulated sugar.
3. Add Eggs
Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring to beat well after each addition.
4. Incorporate Vanilla
Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Mix in Flour
Gradually add the flour, mixing until fully incorporated.
6. Add Hershey’s Syrup
Pour in the Hershey’s syrup and mix until the batter is smooth.
7. Add Nuts (Optional)
If using, fold the chopped nuts into the batter.
8. Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Prepare the Icing
While the brownies are baking, prepare the icing by first bringing the butter, cocoa, and 1 tablespoon of milk to a boil in the microwave.
10. Combine Icing Ingredients
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the confectioners’ sugar and pour in the cocoa mixture. Beat well until combined. Add the remaining milk and vanilla extract, adjusting the consistency to your liking.
11. Ice the Brownies
Once the brownies have cooled for about 5-10 minutes, spread the icing on top. If desired, sprinkle with additional chopped nuts.
12. Cool and Serve
Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing them into squares.
