Chocolate Brownies

The first year we were married a good friend, Laura, gave me this Hershey Syrup brownie recipe. It has been a favorite all 39 years of our marriage! My Mom LOVED this recipe and told me I had to take it to every single potluck. It is so easy and so delicious. Here is the recipe. I even put them in the book, Bertie's Bakery: Heaven Scent. Jen, Katy and Colleen make these after watching the classic original "House on Haunted Hill."




Chocolate Brownies
1 cup sugar
1 stick butter or margarine
4 eggs
1 16oz can Hershey Syrup
1 cup flour

Chocolate Frosting for Brownies
1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
7 TBS butter or margarine
6 tsp milk
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Mix butter, sugar and eggs. Alternately add syrup and flour. Grease and flour bottom of 9x13 pan. Bake 25-30 minutes at 350.

After the brownies cool. Bring sugar, butter and milk to a boil - boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips - QUICKLY beat until chips are melted. IMMEDIATELY pour over the brownies and spread to edges. If you wait too long the topping will crack - it won't hurt the taste but won't look as pretty!
