Copycat Cosmic Brownies

Ever wish you hadn't tried something not because it tasted nasty, but because it tasted so fantastic? My kids (once again!) got me hooked on something I shouldn't be having ~ Casey's General Store brownies! Yum! They have just the right amount of fudgeyness to them, along with a chocolate frosting.

This morning we stopped for breakfast pizza and Keisha decided to pick up a brownie for later. I didn't realize that "later" was for much later, after supper. She didn't want to let me have any ~ the little stinker!

So, I decided to make some fudgey brownies of my own. Turns out the batter was so good that Keisha gave her brownie up in exchange for some of the batter! So not only did I get her brownie, but I also got to have some of my homemade brownies.

For these brownies, I copied the ingredients from the copycat recipe from Baking Beauty; however, I followed the directions from our Brownie-Cookie Bar recipe. I also halved the frosting and put it on only half of the brownies since we have mixed tastes in this house. And, because I didn't have any M&Ms, I left them off. I'm okay with that!

1. Melt the butter in a pan over low heat and add the sugars and cocoa. Continue to heat until the sugars are somewhat dissolved.
