3-D BROWNIES

This brownie is very rich and decadent. For parties or showers, I like to serve them alongside the Sour Cream Bars. Cut them both in one inch squares so you can have a bite of each, and you won't be able to decide which one you like better.  You just can’t decide which taste you want left in your mouth, and since they are both 1” squares, you can keep alternating them trying to decide! The combination is truly heavenly!

Brownie:
4 squares unsweetened chocolate
1 c. butter
2 c. sugar
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 c. flour
1 t. vanilla
½ t. salt
1 c. chopped pecans

1st Icing Layer:
3 c. sifted powder sugar
2 TB butter, melted
Milk if needed to thin

2nd Icing Layer:
4 squares semi-sweet chocolate
4 TB butter

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Melt chocolate and butter; remove from heat. Stir in sugar and eggs and mix well. Add flour, vanilla, and salt and mix well. Stir in the pecans. Spread into a 9X13 ungreased metal pan and bake about 25-30 minutes. Cool completely.

Stir together the powdered sugar and melted butter. Use a little milk to get it thin enough to spread over the brownie. Let set until firm.

Melt the chocolate and butter together and smooth over the iced brownie. Let set until firm. Store them covered in the refrigerator and cut into one inch squares as you serve them.
