These are very good considering I used sugar substitute (which is a little drying on the finished product). I will probably ice with a diabetic icing because the brownies are a little bit cakish in taste and texture. See following icing. <br/><br/>Creamy Chocolate Frosting<br/><br/>1 C sugar (Splenda or Sucrella works well)<br/>3 T cornstarch<br/>Dash salt<br/>2 oz. unsweetened chocolate, grated<br/>1 C boiling water<br/>1 T butter (Becel works fine)<br/>1 t vanilla<br/><br/><br/>Mix sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Add grated chocolate and salt. Add boiling water and cook over medium heat until mixture thickens.<br/><br/>Remove from heat.<br/><br/>Add butter and vanilla<br/><br/>Spread hot frosting on a cooled cake for a glossy look %u2013 the icing will remain soft and smooth.<br/><br/><br/>Note: This recipe can be doubled for layer cakes or larger rectangle cakes
