Ingredients
For the brownies
- 1 cup Challenge Unsalted Butter melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder (I use dark)
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
For the Frosting
- 4 tbsp Challenge Unsalted Butter softened
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder (I used dark)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp milk as needed.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350˚F.
- Cream the butter and granulated sugar. Add the eggs and combine. Stir in the vanilla.
- Add cocoa powder, flour, salt and baking powder. Mix until everything is evenly combined. Don't over mix!
- Line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper. Add the brownie batter into the pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- While they are cooking, make the frosting by combining the softened butter with the cocoa powder, honey, vanilla. Mix in the powdered sugar and milk alternately until you reach the desired consistency.
- Frost brownies while they are still warm. Once cooled, slice and enjoy.Optional: Once the brownies are cool, cover the pan and refrigerate overnight, then slice and serve for extra fudgy brownies!

Notes
- Substitutions:
- How to Store: To save leftovers, separate into meal sized portions and then place in an airtight container and store:
- Butter — I use unsalted, but if you only have salted on hand, you can substitute that and reduce the salt by 1/4 tsp.
- in the refrigerator for 10 days
- at room temperature 5-7 days
