Frosted Brownies (ATK)

Ingredients

Basic Brownies (page 24)

4 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

Prepare Basic Brownies as directed. When brownies have cooled for 1 hour, heat chocolate and oil in microwave or in bowl set over pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until chocolate has melted and mixture is smooth. Cool until barely warm, about 5 minutes. Pour chocolate mixture over brownies and spread evenly with spatula. Continue cooling brownies until glaze sets, 1 to 2 hours. Cut brownies as directed.

Notes

FROSTED BROWNIES Semisweet chips are fine for this frosting. If you're anxious to firm up the frosting, pop the tray of frosted brownies into the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
