Makes between 16 or 24 brownie bars
Prep Time: 15 min.
Baking Time: 20 min.

Ingredients

• 3/4 - cup sugar

• 1/3 - cup butter

• 1/3 - cup Dutch processed cocoa

• 2 - eggs

• 1/2 - teaspoon pure vanilla extract

• 3/4 - cup all-purpose flour

• 1/4 - cup milk

• 1/2 - teaspoon baking soda

• 1/4 - teaspoon baking powder

• No-Cook Fudge Frosting

• 1/4 - cup sliced almonds, toasted

Directions

I preheat my oven to 350° F. and grease and flour a 9x9x2-inch baking pan. 

1. In a medium saucepan at medium heat, I mix the sugar, butter, and cocoa.  I cook the butter until it melts.  Then I remove the pan from the heat.

2. Now, I add the eggs and vanilla.  I use a wooden spoon to prepare this brownie recipe.  I lightly beat the mixture. 

3. Finally, I add the flour, milk, baking soda, and baking power.  I continue to beat until mixed.

4. I pour the mixture into my baking pan.  Then I put the pan into the oven and bake for 20 minutes.  

5. I check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center.  I want it to come out clean.  I cool it on a wire rack.

6. Then I prepare my frosting.  See No-Cook Fudge Frosting.  I spread frosting over the brownie.  Then I sprinkle the top with almonds.  Then I cut into bars.
