These brownies turned out OK, but the frosting did not. There was no way to "cream" only 6 teaspoons of butter with all the confectioners sugar and cocoa.

I made these last night for my son to take to school today for his birthday. He wanted brownies verses cupcakes, go figure. I so prefer homemade to box mix.

Very good brownies, thanks for posting Brenda!
