These brownies make an elegant presentation, but are remarkably easy.  Do I have to say they are delicious too?

For best cutting results, I find using a bench scraper works much better than a knife

  • 6 tablespoons melted butter
  • Brownie Layer:
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, melted then cooled
  • 1 egg
  • ½ + ⅛ tsp. baking powder
  • ⅔ cup flour
  • ¼ tsp. salt

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1½ cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 9 x 9-inch pan.
  2. Mix together all the crust ingredients; press evenly into pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
  3. For the brownie layer, beat together the sugar, melted butter, melted chocolate and the egg. Mix well. Stir the flour, baking powder and salt together; stir into sugar/chocolate mixture along with the milk and vanilla. Combine well. Fold in the nuts.
  4. Spread the batter evenly over the crust. Bake for 20 minutes. Cool completely on rack.
  5. Prepare frosting by melting butter and chocolate in a saucepan over a low heat; stir well. Add the confectioner's sugar (I sifted mine), the vanilla and the hot water. Stir until smooth. Spread over cooled brownies and let frosting set.
