Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 stick butter
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
Instructions

- Remove from heat. Add vanilla.
- Allow to cool for about 5 minutes and pour icing over brownies.
- Allow the icing to cool completely and set before slicing brownies.
Notes
- Makes enough icing for 9 brownies, cooked in an 8X8 pan.
- For extra gooey brownies, you may poke holes in the brownies before pouring on the icing.
- To speed up setting and cooling process, place iced brownies in the refrigerator.
- The icing will set up quicker if you allow the brownies to cool completely before pouring it on.
- For a thicker, sweeter icing, increase powdered sugar to 2 cups. Alternately, you can use 1/2 stick of butter with 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar.
