Notes

I used my one bowl brownie recipe for the brownies you see here.
Frost immediately or the frosting will harden.

STORAGE

Because this frosting hardens quickly, it needs to be used immediately. I do not recommend making this in advance.
You can store the brownies once frosted in an air tight container.
