2 cubes butter, melted

2 cups flour

Add sugar to melted butter and beat until thick and creamy. Add eggs, one and a time, then vanilla and cocoa. Add flour and mix until just combined. Pour in a greased 9x13 pan and bake at 350° for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Frosting

1 cube butter, melted

2 c powdered sugar

3 tablespoons milk

3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa

Add all ingredients to melted butter and beat until smooth. Pour frosting over warm brownies.

I like them best warm, but they're good anyway you slice them. Literally. They're also really good to take to a family when you're bringing dinner. You can do a whole pan, but if you're selfish like me, you can bake it in two 9x9 pans (I'll do one in a throw-away pan for the other family) and take one and keep one.
