Grandma Ash's Brownie's...Guest Blogger submission #3

---These brownies have been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. Now that my mom's shared the recipe, I think I'll make them for our next tailgate party. The recipe used to be a double triple secret, but some things are too good to keep to yourself.

GRANDMA ASH'S BROWNIES

MY SISTER-IN-LAW GAVE ME THE RECIPE PROBABLY 35 YEARS AGO AND MADE ME PROMISE THAT I'D NEVER LET ANYBODY KNOW WHERE I GOT IT, AT LEAST NOT WHILE GRANDMA GLADYS, HER GRANDMOTHER-IN-LAW, WAS ALIVE. SAD TO SAY, SHE'S GONE. I'M GOING TO SHARE THE RECIPE WITH YOU AND LET YOU KNOW I FOUND ONE ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE IT IN A PAULA DEEN COOKBOOK. WONDER WHO GAVE PAULA DEEN GRANDMA'S BROWNIE RECIPE?!? YOU'VE HEARD OF DEATH BY CHOCOLATE? GET READY, THIS IS A TRUE CHOCOLATE OVERLOAD:

1 STICK BUTTER, ROOM TEMP
1 CUP SUGAR
4 EGGS
16 OZ. CAN HERSHEY'S CHOCOLATE SYRUP
1 CUP FLOUR

CREAM THE BUTTER AND SUGAR, ADD THE EGGS UNTIL WELL BLENDED. STIR IN THE FLOUR AND THE HERSHEY'S SYRUP. BAKE 25 MINUTES IN A 9 X 13 PAN, GREASED, AT 350.

AS SOON AS YOU TAKE THEM OUT OF THE OVEN START TO MAKE THE FROSTING:

6 TBSP. BUTTER
1/3 CUP MILK
1 1/2 CUP SUGAR
1 CUP SEMI SWEET CHOCOLATE CHIPS

PUT THE BUTTER, MILK AND SUGAR IN A HEAVY SAUCEPAN OVER MEDIUM HEAT. STIR AND COOK TILL BOILING AND BOIL FOR ONE MINUTE. REMOVE FROM HEAT. STIR IN CHOCOLATE CHIPS UNTIL MELTED AND WELL BLENDED AND POUR OVER BROWNIES.
