This was really good made with dark cocoa. I sprayed the pan with non-stick spray then lined the bottom only with sprayed parchment paper cut to fit the bottom of the pan, which made it so easy to remove the brownies from the pan.

HERSHEY'S SYRUP BROWNIES



Hershey's Syrup Brownies image

There are a couple other recipes for these brownies, but mine is different. I got this recipe from my mother-in-law more than 15 years ago. All I know is they are called Hershey Syrup Brownies and they are very moist, rich and delicious. I make them whenever I am asked to bring brownies to a potluck. The fudgy icing make these brownies very rich. Feel free to omit the icing if you don't want them as rich. The brownies themselves are very moist and chocolaty.

3/4 cup hershey's cocoa powder

  • In large microwave safe bowl place butter and microwave until melted.
  • Stir in sugar and vanilla.
  • Add eggs one at a time, hand beating well with spoon after each addition.
  • Add cocoa; beat until well blended.
  • Add flour, baking powder and salt; beat well.
  • Stir in nuts if desired.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30 - 35 minutes (I underbake mine for 25 minutes).
  • Drop icing on hot brownies and spread with a rubber spatula as icing melts. Cool completely and cut into bars.
  • For icing. Melt butter then wisk in the cocoa, butter and powder sugar. Icing will be thick but will melt when placed on hot brownies and make like a thin chocolate coating. The brownies are still good without the icing but what the heck, go for it!

Tips

  • For fudgy brownies, use more butter and less flour. For cakey brownies, use less butter and more flour.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough brownies.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to set and prevent them from falling apart.
