How to Make Chocolate Syrup Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in 1 cup chocolate syrup (like Hershey's).
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon baking powder. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  9. While brownies cool, prepare the frosting: Melt 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
  10. Whisk in ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth.
  11. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
  12. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  13. Gradually whisk in 2 cups powdered sugar, ⅓ cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  14. Stir in ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
  15. Once the brownies are completely cool, spread the frosting evenly over the top.
  16. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set.
  17. Cut into squares and enjoy!
