And now, something for the Dessert Saints...

Needing a brownie to go with that tea? Here is my recipe, from my dear friend Gwen's sweet mama. Ah, yes, the glory of God displayed through the gifts of God and the creativity of humanity... (with a shout out to my friends at BSU...)

Icing

4 squares unsweetened chocolate
2/3 stick butter
2 c. powdered sugar
½ c. cream or evaporated milk
1 t. vanilla
¼ t. salt

Melt butter and chocolate. Add sugar, cream, vanilla Mix well, add more cream if mixture seems stiff. Keep warm until brownies are done (I use a double boiler). Frost while brownies are warm.
You can half this recipe ... on second thought, that's a stupid idea.
