RECIPE BACKSTORY
Dan wanted a gooey fudge brownie, so I went hunting for one and found this on http://canadianbakertoo.blogspot.com/ And it was GREAT!! I did add icing sugar to the frosting though, and used milk chocolate. The next time I make them I will use semi-sweet chocolate and make the frosting the way canarygirl did.
