When cool, spread top with chocolate Buttercream, which is optional.

Note: Do not overbake or brownies will by dry. On the other hand, do not underbake, or brownies will be pasty. Chocolate chips, dates, raisins or even grated white chocolate can be added. The brownie base is truly delicious. Notice the large amount of vanilla. Source: Renny Darling
