This recipe is a variation of one I found in one of my old "church cookbooks" that I have
collected over the years. Mom gave me this one in 1973. I have cooked many recipes
out of books like these. As you can see by the pages of the book, it is well worn.

I tried these and they were excellent. I did use a bit more frosting than the recipe calls for but can you really ever have too much frosting? I'm not much for putting nuts in my brownies but I think they would work in this recipe.
