Colleen Weeden, Test Kitchen Project Supervisor says her family has no idea she's using a brownie mix when she covers the brownies with from-scratch chocolate frosting and sprinkles on candy or chopped candy bars. Recipe courtesy of Midwest Living June 2010. Good stuff.
Ingredients:
19 1/2 ounces milk chocolate brownie mix
2 eggs
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup oil
6 ounces m&m's
1/4 cup butter, softened
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups confectioners' sugar
additional milk, if desired
Directions:
1. Mix up and bake a package of milk chocolate brownie mix, following the instructions on the box for a 13x9x2 inch pan.
2. Place the hot pan of brownies on a cooling rack.
3. While those cool, mix up the frosting.
4. Frosting: In a mixing bowl beat butter and unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth.
5. Beat in powdered sugar.
6. Beat in milk and vanilla.
7. Gradually beat in 2 more cups confectioners' sugar.
