Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch pan and set it on the counter.
  2. Stir together the melted butter and granulated sugar until they blend and shine.
  3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then add the vanilla.
  4. Add the flour and mix until smooth.
  5. Stir in the Hershey’s syrup and nuts, if using.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  2. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes.
Icing
  1. While the brownies are warm, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, melted butter, cocoa, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  2. Spread the icing over the warm brownies so it melts in just a touch.
  3. Let the pan cool on a rack for about 20 minutes to let the icing set before cutting.

Notes

For a gooier spin, fold in a few extra tablespoons of Hershey’s syrup to the batter. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or refrigerate if your kitchen is warm. You can freeze uncut brownies for up to 3 months. For serving suggestions, serve warm with vanilla ice cream or fresh berries.
