A Taste of the Good Life

INGREDIENTS:
Brownie:
1/2 cup butter
2 squares unsweetened chocolate
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup flour
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 teaspoon vanilla (Optional)
Frosting:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup cocoa

TO PREPARE:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in a double boiler. When melted, remove from fire and add sugar and beat well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add flour, nuts and vanilla. Mix well. Pour into a greased and floured 9 x 9 pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. (Do not overbake. These are supposed to be moist.) To make frosting, mix together all ingredients and bring to a full boil over low heat, stirring constantly. Cook exactly 1 minute – NO LONGER. Remove from heat, cool, stir and frost. Let frosting harden before cutting brownies.
