How to Make Grandma's Chocolate Syrup Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 cup chocolate syrup.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  9. **For the frosting:** In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup margarine, and ¼ cup milk.
  10. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
  11. Remove from heat and stir in 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
  12. Quickly spread the frosting over the cooled brownies. The frosting will thicken as it cools.
