Brownies for a Crowd

I have been using this recipe for over a year now. We love it. We like them even better the next day. Weird how some foods are like that. I also love that it makes a big sheet full, a great recipe for parties or family gatherings. The chocolate icing on top is SO GOOD! I have used it on other desserts, because we like it so much. Also, this is for a cookie sheet (with edges of course). Do not make it in a cake pan.

Brownies for a Crowd

(submitted by Michelle)

from Sisters Cafe

3 cups sugar

1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp cocoa (I prefer Dutch-it is darker)

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 cups melted butter

5 eggs

2 1/2 tsp vanilla

3 cups flour

Mix together and spread on a buttered cookie sheet (standard stainless steel). Bake in a preheated 350 oven for 30 minutes. Be sure to not overcook. Frost

Frosting:

1/2 cup butter

3 1/2 tsp cocoa

6 TBsp milk

1 tsp vanilla

Powdered Sugar--just add until you get the consistency you want. If it gets too thick just add more milk.
Boil together, remove from heat and add powdered sugar. You can add nuts into the frosting or sprinkle on top if you like.
