Frosted Brownie Recipe

Frosted Brownie recipe makes classic chewy, fudgy brownies topped with rich, sweet chocolate buttercream frosting.

These brownies are crazy good.  I’m not a big chocolate person, and I can usually pass on frosting.

However, these frosted brownies are so (SO!) good that I can’t stop craving them.

The brownies are chewy at the edges and perfectly cakey/fudgy in the middle.

And the frosting! The frosting is ridiculous. It’s so rich and has just the right amount of sweetness. Do yourself a favor, and make these brownies!
