Recipe(tried): Bestest Brownies with Superb Chocolate Frosting

During the early 70's, I obtained this recipe from my aunt, who lived in Minnesota. I haven't made it for a long while (probably because my kids have grown and gone, and I don't eat as many sweets), but when I saw the swap title, this recipe came to mind.
I've seen other recipes similar with the addition of 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp vanilla, and 1 tsp baking powder. I imagine it depends on whether you prefer a more cake like brownie.
This is a simple and convenient recipe to try. You likely have all the ingredients in your pantry, except maybe the chocolate syrup.
I hope you enjoy!
