Chocolate Syrup Brownies #SundaySupper

These Chocolate Syrup Brownies are a family favorite. Years ago, I shared these gems with a group of neighbors and set my reputation as a baker from that day forward. But don’t worry, they’re super simple to make!

Chocolate Syrup Brownies

I have been making these Chocolate Syrup Brownies for decades. As did my mom. Super moist and tender, each bite immediately melts in your mouth. In fact, they’re so rich and gooey, it’s best just to place the jelly roll pan on the counter or picnic table, and let everyone scoop out their own serving.

Cutting perfect slices can be a major challenge. I’m bringing this crowd pleaser to this week’s Sunday Supper Virtual Picnic. They will be the first dessert to go!!!

Grooming a Chocoholic

When my oldest, Tom, was a toddler, I took a pan of these to a cookout with a bunch of Bill’s coworkers and their families. I was hugely pregnant with Katie and totally exhausted by the time we left the gathering. Driving home, I leaned back and closed my eyes.

But before too long, Bill and I both noticed that it was strangely silent in the car. Our usually chattering boy must have fallen asleep. I turned around only to find him covered in chocolate. Unfortunately, we had placed the pan of leftover brownies on the seat next to him and he decided to dig in with his hands. So tasty, he just couldn’t resist. Do you blame him? Is there any wonder he’s a chocoholic now at age 27?

A retro recipe from my mom for super moist, frosted brownies flavored with Hershey’s chocolate syrup!

• Author: Liz Berg
• Prep Time: 30 minutes
• Cook Time: 30 minutes
• Total Time: 1 hour
• Yield: 24 servings

Ingredients

• ½ cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
• 1 cup sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1½ cups chocolate syrup (I used 1 can Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup)
• 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Icing:

• 6 tablespoons butter
• 6 tablespoons milk
• 1 cup sugar
• ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

1. Grease 10 x 15 inch pan (jelly roll pan) and set aside. Preheat oven to 350º.
2. Beat butter and sugar till creamy and light in color. Beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in vanilla and syrup. Mix well.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk into syrup mixture.
4. Pour into prepared pan. Spread evenly in pan with back of spoon or offset spatula.
5. Bake for 22-30 minutes or till a slight imprint remains when center of brownies is touched. Do not overbake. My pan is one of those old insulated pans so it takes 30 minutes to bake. Most likely yours will cook in much less time.
6. Make icing by putting butter, milk and sugar in a saucepan. Heat until butter and sugar are melted. Bring to a boil, and boil 30 seconds. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips. Stir until chips are melted and mixture is slightly thickened. Cool slightly before pouring over cool or just slightly warm brownies.
7. Let frosted brownies sit till frosting is firm. Cut into squares to serve.

Yield: 30 brownies

Total time: 1 1/2 hours
