Brownies for a Crowd image

This recipe is in an old Farm Journal cookbook, Homemade Cookies, published in the 1971. The brownies are cake-like, the chocolate syrup making them nicely moist. I have made this recipe many times, and it is always a family favorite.

Categories     Chocolate

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 c butter
1 c sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 c hershey syrup (one can)
1 c flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 c chopped nuts (optional)
ICING INGREDIENTS
6 Tbsp butter
6 Tbsp milk
1 c sugar
1/2 c chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease well a 15 1/2" x 10 1/2" x 1" jelly roll pan.
  • 2. Cream together butter and sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in chocolate syrup.
  • 3. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to chocolate mixture. Add nuts if using.
  • 4. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake about 22 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • 5. Cool in pan.
  • 6. When brownies are cool, prepare frosting:
  • 7. Combine butter, sugar, and milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and boil 30 seconds. Remove from heat. Add chocolate chips and vanilla.
  • 8. Stir until mixture thickens slightly. (I hasten this process by putting pan's bottom in ice water.)
  • 9. Spread icing over brownies. If I haven't used nuts in the brownies, sometimes I sprinkle nuts over the icing as soon as I spread it.
