Instructions
 

  • Melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave on high, 20 seconds at a time, stirring in-between. Set aside.

  • Spread evenly into a greased, parchment lined baking pan.
    Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until a knife in the middle comes out clean.
    Let cool for 10 or 15 minutes while you:
  • Clean and dry the mixer bowl and add the 2 cups of powdered sugar.
    Put the 3 oz. of butter in a small saucepan and burn it. When you see the black flecks and it starts to smoke, pour it in with the powdered sugar and mix on low. Add the vanilla and 1 TBLS. of milk or cream. Add another TBLS. if needed to make a spreadable frosting.
    Spread a thin layer over the warm brownies. Allow to cool completely.
  • Melt 2 oz. unsweetened chocolate and 1 oz or butter in the microwave.
    Spread thinly over the cooled frosting and allow to harden before cutting.
