Notes
- This recipe makes enough to cover a 9x9-inch pan of brownies. You can easily double the recipe if you need more frosting.
- Want to thin out the frosting? Add a little extra milk until you reach your desired consistency. You can thicken the frosting by adding a little extra powdered sugar.
- It's important to make sure the brownies have cooled before spreading the frosting. If they are still warm the frosting will melt and not stay on the brownie.
- Make sure to wait about 10 minutes after frosting before cutting the brownies. This allows the brownie frosting to harden a little.
