Fudgy Frosted Brownies

I have made homemade brownies before, but they would not have been able to handle this frosting. If you like fudge, you must try these brownies. I might recommend making half of the recipe unless you have a big gathering or a really large family, because this makes a lot!! (they are really rich so cut them really small) I gave away two plates, had them for dessert for four people, plus had leftovers.
