Iced Brownies

SUBMITTED BY: Goldie Hanke

"Brownies are a favorite for summer picnics, and these are the best! I received this recipe from a dear friend many years ago, and I still make it at least once a month. Whenever I'm asked to bring a dessert to an outing, or if I want to send a treat to a neighbor or friend, I always prepare these wonderful brownies."

INGREDIENTS

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
4 eggs
1 (16 ounce) can chocolate flavored syrup
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chopped nuts
ICING:
1 1/4 cups sugar
6 tablespoons butter or margarine
6 tablespoons milk or light cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS

In a mixing bowl, cream sugar and butter. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add syrup and flour; mix well. Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Cool slightly. Meanwhile, for icing, combine sugar, butter and milk in a small saucepan. Cook and stir until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla and chocolate chips until chips are melted. (Mixture will be thin.) Immediately pour over brownies. Cool completely before cutting.
