Bad day? Chocolate fixes that!

Spent today in the ER with Father John......turns out he's fine just getting old. Thanks Doc, we coulda figured that out on our own. The good news is, no heart trouble, no new stroke just dizziness and unexplained arrhythmia. So bring on the BROWNIES!!!

Who Needs a Box Brownies?
1/2 cup melted butter
1/3 cup cocoa
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Blend together with wooden spoon and pour into a greased 9x9 square pan. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Let cool and frost if desired.
Creamy Frosting
3 Tbsp soft butter
3 Tbsp cocoa
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 Tbsp light corn syrup
1-2 Tbsp milk
Blend until creamy and spread over cooled brownie.
These freeze really well, unfrosted! A square of brownie topped with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and smothered in hot fudge could be chocolate nirvana!
