Brownies For A Crowd

This is one of my go to recipes that I've been making for a few years.  It is a large recipe for frosted brownies that you bake in a jelly roll pan.  Everyone raves about them!  

Brownies for a Crowd

Recipe from Real Mom Kitchen

• 8 eggs
• 2 tsp. salt
• 2 cups of butter , melted (yes that is right 2 cups – remember these are for a crowd)
• 1 1/2 cups Hershey’s cocoa (that is what her recipe says and that is what I used)
• 4 cups sugar
• 4 tsp. vanilla
• 3 cups flour

1. Beat eggs with a mixer in a large bowl.  Then add sugar, salt, vanilla and beat for 1 minute.
2. Add melted butter and blend.  In another bowl, mix flour and cocoa with a whisk until well blended,
3. Add flour mixture to egg mixture and mix until well combined.
4. Spread onto a greased jelly roll pan (12 x 17) and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.  Cool for 15 minutes and spread with frosting.

Frosting

• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup cocoa
• milk

Blend powdered sugar, butter, and cocoa along with enough milk to make the frosting a spreadable consistency.  Spread over the brownies after they had cooled for 15 minutes.  Keep spreading as the frosting melts making it nice and even on the brownies.  Allow brownies to continue to cool.  Makes 30 good sized brownies.
