Brownies
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 (16 oz.) can Hershey's chocolate syrup
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Frosting
1 cup sugar
6 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons whole milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (6 oz.) pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 deg. Grease 15 x 10-inch jelly-roll pan.
Mix all brownie ingredients except nuts with electric mixer. When thoroughly combined, add nuts and pour into prepared pan. Bake 25 minutes. Cool on rack.
Frosting
In small pan, boil sugar, butter, and milk together for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in chips and vanilla. Stir until chips are melted. Pour over brownies. Cool thoroughly before cutting.
*Her Notes: They cut easier if refrigerated first. The longer they last, the more like fudge they become. Brownies seem to improve with age.
