2/3 cup packed brown sugar

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final product. Use real butter, not margarine, and use good quality chocolate.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies at the right temperature. The ideal temperature for baking brownies is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If you bake them at a higher temperature, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Don't overbake the brownies. Overbaking will also make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you're sure to make the best brownies with frosting that you've ever tasted. These brownies are fudgy, chocolatey, and moist, and the frosting is the perfect finishing touch. They're perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a special celebration.
