Best-ever Brownies!

These brownies are from Sister Wade, Jim's seminary teacher. We went to a reunion, had these, and I left with the recipe. They are seriously the best-ever! I don't even bother making any other brownies anymore, they're just not as good. I like to slightly underbake them so they are perfectly gooey, and with the frosting as the finishing touch, I eat them with a fork. Yummy!

Brownies:
2 squares and 2 T margarine or butter
2 C sugar
4 eggs
1 1/2 C flour
1 t salt
4 T cocoa
1 t vanilla

Melt butter, add sugar. Beat eggs, add and mix well. Add flour, salt, and cocoa. Mix, then add vanilla and mix. Put into a greased 9 X 13 pan. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes.

Frosting:
1 square margarine
4 T cocoa
2 T canned milk
1/4 C milk
1 box (4 1/2 C) powdered sugar
1 t vanilla

Melt margarine, add cocoa and canned milk. Mix, then add milk and mix. Add sugar, mix, then add vanilla. Spread onto warm brownies. Let cool and cut into squares. Serves 24 (theoretically, at least).

**Let it cool completely - the hardest part. The frosting seems runny at first, but give it time.
