Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC). Grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup softened butter until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
-
Stir in the can of chocolate-flavored syrup and the flour, mixing until just combined.
-
Fold in the chopped nuts.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
-
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly touched.
-
While the brownies are baking, prepare the icing. In a small saucepan, combine 1 1/4 cups sugar, 6 tablespoons butter, and 6 tablespoons milk.
-
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.
-
Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook and stir for 3 minutes.
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat.
-
Stir in the vanilla extract and semisweet chocolate chips until the chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

Note
Storage: Store brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep the icing firm. They can also be frozen for longer storage; thaw at room temperature before serving.
Variation: If you prefer a less sweet icing, you can reduce the sugar in the icing recipe slightly, though the boiling process is essential for the glaze to set correctly.
Tip: Ensure the brownies are still warm when pouring the icing so it spreads easily and adheres well to the surface.
