Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease the bottom of a 10 by 15-inch pan.
Making the Brownie Batter:
Melt the butter in the microwave and cream it together with granulated sugar.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Incorporate vanilla extract.
Mix in flour until well combined.
Stir in Hershey’s syrup and, if desired, add chopped nuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Preparing the Icing:
In the microwave, bring to a boil the butter, cocoa, and 1 tablespoon of milk.
In a mixing bowl, add confectioners’ sugar. Pour the cocoa mixture over the sugar and beat well.
Add vanilla extract and the remaining milk, adjusting for desired spreading consistency.
Icing the Brownies:
Allow the brownies to cool for about 5-10 minutes.
Spread the prepared icing over the brownies.
Optionally, sprinkle with additional chopped nuts.
The icing will harden to a fudge-like consistency.
Cooling and Serving:
Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares.
Tips:

Testing Doneness: Use the toothpick test to ensure the brownies are thoroughly baked. Insert a toothpick into the center, and it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Icing Consistency: Adjust the amount of milk in the icing to achieve the desired consistency. Add a little at a time until you reach the perfect spreading texture.
Nuts Variation: Customize the recipe by choosing your favorite nuts or omitting them altogether based on personal preference.
Cooling Time: Allowing the brownies to cool completely before cutting ensures neat squares and helps the icing set to perfection.
HERSHEY’S SYRUP BROWNIES are a delightful indulgence for chocolate lovers, offering a harmonious blend of moist brownie base and a luscious fudge-like icing. These brownies are perfect for satisfying sweet cravings and sharing with friends and family.

For variations, you could add chocolate chips, caramel pieces, or even a bit of peanut butter for an extra rich flavor. That could really enhance the recipe!

For storage, once the brownies are completely cooled, you can keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for about 3-4 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them.

Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil, and they should last for about 2-3 months. Ready to get baking?
