Original recipe yields 20 brownies

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and 1 1/2 cups of butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour and cocoa powder, stir into the creamed mixture until just blended. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
To make the frosting: Combine the semisweet chocolate and remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small bowl. Heat in the microwave or over a double boiler, stirring frequently until smooth. Spread over brownies when cool.

"The batter for these brownies tasted great before I baked it :) but the pan the recipe calls for is too small for the ammount of batter it made. It took over a hour to bake it and when it was finally..." See more done, it was dry, dense and not very tasty. The only thing that helped it was to put one "brownie" in a bowl and cover it in chocolate syrup and milk. If I make it again, I would use a 9"x 13" pan instead of 9"x9" and I would add 1/3 cup milk."

"This recipe turned out pretty good! On another review of this recipe, they suggested to use a 9x13 pan instead of a 9x9 pan and also they would add 1/3 cup of milk. I took both of those suggestions th..." See moree first time I made it and they turned out great! The next time I use this recipe I am not going to use as much cocoa - it was just to much cocoa for my taste. It is very cakey, just the way I like my brownies. :-) "
