How To Make decadent chocolate brownies

• 1

  Preheat oven to 350° F.
• 2

  Grease the inside of a 9x13-inch baking pan with a bit of Crisco All-Vegetable Shortening. Set pan aside.
• 3

  In a large mixing bowl, add the melted butter and cocoa powder. Blend together until smooth.
• 4

  Add the flour and sugar. Beat together, then add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix just until combined.
• 5

  Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, and spread out evenly.
• 6

  Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. (I baked the brownies for 29 minutes.)
• 7

  Allow brownies to cool completely, then frost them with your favorite frosting. I used one (16 oz.) container of Baker's Corner Chocolate Frosting, which I purchased at Aldi's. I also sprinkled a few Holiday Sprinkles on top. (I chose yellow stars.)
