  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup evaporated milk or use half-and-half or heavy whipping cream

  • Add icing while still hot.
  • Cool brownies completely before cutting into bars.

FUDGE ICING:

  • Place butter, granulated sugar and milk in a medium saucepan.
  • Heat at medium stirring to dissolve ingredients.
  • Bring ingredients to a boil and boil for 1 minute.
  • Turn off heat.

  • Pour hot icing over brownies as soon as they’re baked.
  • Spread icing with wet knife.

Notes

NOTE: The consistency of the brownies before baking is more like cake batter.
 
NOTE: The cans of Hershey’s syrup from the 70s and 80s used to be about 12-ounces. I substituted a 15-oz. bottle of Hershey’s Sundae Dream double chocolate syrup.
