Ingredients

1 1/4 cup Sugar, divided

1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Milk
1/3 cup Butter, melted
1 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
1/2 cup Light brown sugar; packed

2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine 3/4 cup of the sugar, flour, 3 tablespoons of the cocoa, baking powder, and salt.

In a small bowl, combine the remaining sugar, brown sugar, and remaining cocoa.
6
Sprinkle the sugar-cocoa mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.

Spoon portions into dessert dishes, ensuring to scoop the warm fudge sauce from the bottom of the pan over the top of each serving.
