Whip these frosted fudge brownies up when you're craving something sweet. They're made with simple ingredients most bakers have on hand and the directions are very easy. Once baked, the homemade brownies are rich and moist. Topped with the light, fluffy, and creamy fudgy frosting, these brownies are delicious If you want a thinner icing, add a little more milk to the recipe. But, we thought the thickness of the frosting was perfect.
