Yummy Brownies

Rikard and I had a sweet tooth the other night so I found this pretty yummy recipe for brownies... The honey makes the frosting to die for! I think I ate half of it before the brownies were even out of the oven.  I am sure you could do the brownies with spray butter os something healthier, but you know me I am all about the butter! Mmmm!


Ingredients

1/2 cup butter

1 cup white sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking powder



3 tablespoons butter, softened

3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup confectioners' sugar









Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8 inch square pan.

2. In a large saucepan, melt 1/2 cup butter. Remove from heat, and stir in sugar, eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat in 1/3 cup cocoa, 1/2 cup flour, salt, and baking powder. Spread batter into prepared pan.

3. Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Do not overcook.

4. To Make Frosting: Combine 3 tablespoons butter, 3 tablespoons cocoa, 1 tablespoon honey (I did 2 tablespoons and it made it even better) , 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1 cup confectioners' sugar. Frost brownies while they are still warm.
