Delicious Brownies

Brownies:

1/2 cup softened margarine
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 pound can of chocolate syrup


Place ingredients in a mixer bowl. Beat on low speed until blended.  Grease a 9 x 13-inch cake pan.  Pour batter into the pan and bake at 350'F for 30 minutes or until a toothpick, inserted in the center of the brownies, come out clean.  Frost when cool.

Frosting:

1 1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup milk
6 Tbsp. margarine
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Measure sugar, milk, and margarine into a sauce pan and cook on low until mixture begins to boil.  Stirring occasionally. (Over-stirring will create a crystallized frosting.)  Boil one minute and do not stir while boiling.  Remove saucepan from heat.

Add chocolate chips and stir until melted.  Cool at room temperature until the frosting begins to thicken and then frost the brownies.  It is important that the frosting doesn't get too thick or it will be impossible to use as frosting.

PS:  I have cooled the frosting by placing the saucepan in a bowl of ice water, but be very careful that the frosting doesn't set up to quickly.
