    Chewy Frosted Brownies topped with the creamiest, most delicious chocolate fudge frosting.

    Chewy Brownies with Chocolate Fudge Frosting - Sprinkle Some Sugar

    You know those frosted brownies that you get at the grocery store in the bakery section? These remind me so much of those. The brownies have a chewy texture with the richest chocolate flavor. They're like your homemade version of box mix brownies. The frosting is ultra creamy and tastes almost like spreadable chocolate fudge. The flavor is unreal. So good you'll want to eat it with a spoon!

    Servings 9 -12 brownies

    Ingredients
      

    Brownies

    • ½ cup unsalted butter
    • ¾ cup granulated sugar
    • ½ cup light brown sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 eggs
    • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ cup all-purpose flour

    Chocolate Fudge Frosting

    • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
    • 3 tbs corn syrup
    • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 ½ cup powdered sugar
    • 3 tbs milk

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9 (or 8x8) pan with parchment paper or grease the pan very well with non-stick cooking spray.

    For the brownies

    • In a large microwave-safe bowl, add butter, both sugars and cocoa powder. Microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Stir very well until combined. Add the eggs and vanilla and stir until incorporated. Add the flour and baking powder and mix until combined. The batter will be very thick.
    • Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake for 25-27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow brownies to cool completely.

    For the frosting

    • In a large bowl, cream the butter and corn syrup until completely smooth. Add the cocoa powder and vanilla and beat until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and mix on low until completely incorporated. The frosting will be extremely thick at this point. Add the milk 1 tablespoon at a time and beat for about one minute until smooth and creamy.
    • Spread a thick layer of frosting on top of the cooled brownies. Slice into bars and serve.

    Notes

    Storage instructions: Chewy Frosted Brownies will stay fresh for up to 5 days stored in an airtight container at room temperature.

      I just made these and omg, the frosting is amazing. But my brownies turned out very dark...deep dark brown. They aren't light brown like yours. I used regular Hershey cocoa....not the dark stuff. hmmm.

      Hi Jessica!
      These brownies look amazing. So amazing, I drooled all over the keyboard!! I just wanted to ask you if you meant baking powder or baking soda in the recipe. When you mentioned changing the recipe around a little,you said you added a little baking soda. The recipe calls for baking powder.
      Just want to make sure I get it right!
