These have been my son's "birthday cake" ever since he was about 3 years old. The brownies are chewy and chocolately, and best of all, easy to make!

How To Make zach's birthday brownies

Step 1

Cream sugar, cocoa and butter.

Step 2

Add beaten eggs and vanilla.
Step 3

Add flour and fold in walnuts.
Step 4

Bake in greased 9x13 pan at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. Top will appear underdone (falls in the middle) but DON'T overbake!! Should be moist and chewy. While brownies are baking, prepare icing by mixing ingredients together with electric beater.
Step 5

Add icing immediately after removing brownies from oven so it will melt into a shiny glaze.
Step 6

Let cool and enjoy!
