Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

• Microwave
• Mixing bowls
• Electric mixer
• 10 x 15-inch baking pan
• Spatula
• Toothpick

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter (no substitutes, melted in microwave)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup flour
• 1 (16 ounce) can HERSHEY’S syrup
• 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
• Icing:
• 3 cups confectioners’ sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, melted (no substitutes)
• 4 tablespoons cocoa
• 4 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Step-by-step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease the bottom of a 10 x 15-inch pan.
2. Melt the butter in the microwave, then cream together the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl.
3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Mix in the flour until well combined.
5. Add the HERSHEY’S syrup and mix thoroughly.
6. Fold in the chopped nuts if you’re using them.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. As the brownies are finishing up, prepare the icing. In the microwave, bring the butter, cocoa, and 1 tablespoon of milk to a boil.
9. In a separate bowl, combine the confectioners’ sugar with the cocoa mixture and beat well. Stir in the vanilla extract and the remaining milk, adjusting the milk amount to achieve your desired spreading consistency.
10. Allow the brownies to cool for about 5-10 minutes, then spread the icing over them. Sprinkle with more chopped nuts if desired.
11. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares.

Tips for Success

• Ensure the butter is fully melted and incorporated to create the perfect batter consistency.
• Leave the brownies in the pan while icing them to avoid any mess, especially if the frosting is a bit runny.
• For a sweeter touch, don’t skip the icing—it balances the overall flavor profile perfectly.

Additional Tips and Variations

If you prefer a less sweet brownie, consider halving the icing recipe. You can also experiment by adding chocolate chips or a splash of espresso to the batter for a mocha twist. For a nutty crunch, try using pecans or walnuts.

Nutritional Highlights (Per Serving)

While specific nutritional values can vary, these brownies typically offer a rich chocolate flavor with a satisfying sweetness, thanks to the icing. Adjust portions to fit your dietary needs.
