Ingredients

Brownies

  • 1 box Brownie Mix I used Duncan Hines
  • 6 tablespoons Butter melted
  • 1/4 cup Buttermilk
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Frosting

  • 4 tablespoons Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Cocoa Powder
  • 3 tablespoons Milk
  • cups Powdered Sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line an 8×8 or 9×9 metal baking pan with foil and coat lightly with cooking spray.
  • Whisk the brownie mix, butter, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla in a large bowl until well combined (the batter will be really thick).
  • Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 20 minutes.
  • In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and add the cocoa powder, and milk, stirring continuously until the mixture begins to boil. Remove from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar.
  • Spread the fudge topping over the brownies while still in the pan and place in the fridge to set for 20 minutes. Once cooled remove and slice.
