An easy brownie recipe with no whip frosting is always a hit.
Boxed brownies are easy. But no-box brownies are almost as easy and infinitely better. I said what I said.
These birthday brownies (I only call them that because it’s almost my birthday and they have sprinkles!) come together in one bowl. They taste like real chocolate. And they have frosting. Now, I know that brownies don’t need frosting. I really do. But if you can frost your brownies, why not?
Because it needs to be whipped, that’s why. For cupcakes? You have to. But brownies are so good that you don’t need it. Until you do.
This frosting is not a fluffy buttercream. Sorry folks. But it is buttery, chocolatey, and delicious. And it comes together in a bowl with a whisk.
