These brownies were a staple growing up. I've made a few modifications .... see that white frosting? No offense to Mama, but this frosting is SO much better. It's creamy and delicate and not overly sweet. The chocolate glaze has also been revised slightly. Here's to updating old childhood classics.
The vanilla frosting for these brownies is more time consuming, but is also made with everyday ingredients.
The chocolate glaze calls for semi-sweet baking chocolate, which I do not always keep on hand, but I think I'm gonna start!
Brownies with White Frosting
There's just something about brownies that keep me coming back and trying new variations.
I've shared caramel brownies, mint brownies, cupcake brownies and peanut butter brownies. I've got a rocky road version that I'll be sharing soon too.
Of course, if you ever get sick of brownies (is that even possible?), you can always check out my recipes tab for a large variety of sweet treats like these EASY chocolate molten lava cakes.

Chocolate Glaze

I've never had brownies with white and chocolate frosting, but it looks double-good! Yum.
ReplyDeleteCan the white frosting be colored?
ReplyDeleteYes! Just add a few drops of food coloring in the desired color. You could also add flavoring (like mint) if desired.
