Easy Super Moist Chocolate Syrup Brownie From Scratch
Easy Super Moist Chocolate Syrup Brownie From Scratch
I never thought I could master the moistest brownies on the planet!
You can make these too.....Enjoy
Ingredients:
For the brownie:
1 stick butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 box chocolate INSTANT pudding
1 cup all purpose flour
1 and 3/4 cups chocolate syrup
3/4 cups finely chopped nuts
Topping:
For frosting:
1/2 stick of butter or margarine
1 box chocolate INSTANT pudding
1/3 cup evaporated milk or half and half
3/4 cups confectioners sugar
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
2tbsp condensed milk
1/3cups chocolate syrup
Drizzling:
Condensed milk for drizzling
1/3 cup finely chopped nuts
For the brownie:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees
combine butter and sugar until creamy and smooth
add pudding, eggs, flour, and chocolate syrup and mix well for about 1 or 2 minutes
add finely chopped nuts and stir
Add batter to a square buttered baking dish
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until sides separate from dish. My recommendation is that you take them out when you can smell them in another room. If you over bake them then you will not be happy. I usually take them out when the middle bounces back up when I lightly tap it with my hand I hate crunchy edges......
Combine all ingredients for the topping and microwave on high for 30 seconds and stir well refrigerate until brownie is ready to be frosted
Once brownie is cooled enough to frost add creamy chocolate topping it should be twice or three times as thick as the chocolate syrup........
Drizzle condensed milk over the top of chocolate frosting
Add remaining nuts, cut into squares and enjoy alone or with a scoop of ice cream
