Ingredients
Brownies
2 squares (1 oz. each)
unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole
wheat flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup chocolate chips
Frosting
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 squares (1 1/2 oz.)
unsweetened chocolate
1 cup powdered (confectioner's)
sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 tablespoons (2 tablespoons
plus 1 1/2 teaspoons) milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Directions
Brownies
Preheat oven to 350°
F.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk
together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In 2-quart sauce pan, heat
chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring constantly
until melted. Remove from heat. Mix in sugar, eggs and
vanilla until well blended. Add flour mixture and stir until
well-blended. Pour into an 8x8x2-inch greased baking pan.
Sprinkle chocolate chips over top, then gently press
chocolate chips down into brownie mixture with a fork.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a
toothpick or sharp knife inserted into center comes out
clean. Allow to cool, then spread frosting all over top.
Allow brownies to sit for 15-20 minutes to allow frosting to
set. Cut into squares and serve.
Frosting
In a small saucepan, heat butter
and chocolate over low heat until melted, stirring
constantly. Stir in powdered sugar, salt, milk and vanilla
and stir until well-blended. Remove from heat and place
saucepan into a bowl one-half filled with ice and water
(though make sure water does not reach a higher level than
saucepan).
Continue stirring frosting as it sits in the ice water until
it thickens into spreading
consistency (about 5 minutes).
