After 30 min. bake time, the brownies are done!! Yum, look at all those peanut butter chips!
The next part of the recipe is to prepare the chocolate frosting:
CHOCOLATE FROSTING:
Melt 1/2 cup butter or margarine in saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat; add 2/3 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa stirring until smooth. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and dash of salt. Gradually add 3-1/2 cups powdered sugar with 6 tablespoons hot water, stirring until smooth. About 2 cups frosting.
I melted a stick of butter, Hershey's cocoa and vanilla.
Then I gradually added in the powdered sugar:
After the frosting was throughly mixed, I spread it over the cooled brownies. Nothing is better than homemade frosting!
Add the Reese's Pieces and you are all set! Cut into squares, eat and enjoy!
