  2. These brownies turned out OK, but the frosting did not. There was no way to "cream" only 6 teaspoons of butter with all the confectioners sugar and cocoa. I ended up using an entire cup of butter in order to cream it with the sugar and cocoa and then added about 1/3 cup of milk to make it spreadable.

  3. I made these last night for my son to take to school today for his birthday. He wanted brownies verses cupcakes, go figure. I so prefer homemade to box mix. These were easy, and oh so chocolatey goodness. I followed the recipe exactly, next time I think I'll add a little almond extract to the frosting for added flavor. Very good brownies, thanks for posting Brenda!
