DIRECTIONS

Brownies

1. Preheat oven to  350°F.
2. Stir melted butter or margarine with sugar, vanilla extract and eggs with a wooden spoon until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk flour with cocoa, baking powder and salt, then stir into sugar mixture.
3. Line a 9 inch square baking dish with parchment paper or foil and coat lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Spread batter in prepared pan and bake in center of oven for 25 minutes or until the top springs back when lightly pressed.
4. Cool over a rack, then lift brownies from the pan (do not cut yet).

Frosting

1. Beat butter or margarine with corn syrup and vanilla until smooth. Gradually beat in confectioner’s sugar. Mixture will be crumbly. Blend in milk and beat to a smooth consistency.
2. Place about 3 tablespoons of frosting (while still white) into a small pastry bag fitted with a small round tip (#5 preferred), then add cocoa to the remaining frosting and blend thoroughly.
3. Spread chocolate frosting evenly over the top of the brownie “cake” and then cut into rectangles. (NOTE: Use a plastic knife while the brownies are still warm for a clean, crumble-free cut.) We cut 8 columns, each slightly larger than 1” wide in one direction and 3 columns about 3” wide in  opposite direction.
4. Press a line across the center of each rectangle with a wooden skewer or a toothpick, then pipe small white dots of white frosting onto the top of each chocolate domino in numbered sequences just like actual dominos.
