- 4 tablespoons cocoa
- 4 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease the bottom of a 10 by 15 inch pan.
- Mix Butter and Sugar: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and then cream it together with the granulated sugar.
- Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring to beat well after each addition.
- Incorporate Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
- Mix in Flour: Gradually add the flour, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Add Hershey’s Syrup: Pour in the Hershey’s syrup and mix until the batter is smooth.
- Add Nuts (Optional): If using, fold the chopped nuts into the batter.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
