Retro Texas School House Brownies

Our Retro Texas School House Brownies are worth the wait for a great afterschool treat! When my kids were in school (a very long time ago) my friend gave me this recipe to make brownies for a school bake sale. I ended up making two batches of the brownies, because our family ate so many of them. This is without a doubt the best brownie that I have ever had.

 How To Make Retro Texas School House Brownies

In an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the melted butter and the cocoa together until completely smooth.

Add the butter and sugar, then beat until smooth.

Add the eggs and vanilla, then beat until it is all incorporated.

Slowly add the chopped walnuts and mix well.

Spray a 9X13 baking dish with a bakers spray. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until a toothpick will test clean. Remove  from the oven and place on the cooling rack for at least 10 to 15 minutes.

In the electric mixer bowl with the whisk attachment, mix the butter, half and half, cocoa, and powdered sugar

 together until completely smooth. 

Frost the brownies.
