Easy chocolate walnut brownies

Easy Chocolate Walnut Brownies

1 stick butter melted
2 C sugar
2 C All-purpose flour
1/4 C cocoa powder
4 Eggs
4 Tsp vanilla extract
1-2 Tbsp water
1 C chopped walnuts(optional)

Preheat oven to 350°. Mix the flour, sugar, cocoa, eggs, butter, vanilla and 1 tbsp water. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon and add 1 more tbsp water if too thick to stir. Fold in walnuts and reserve some to top with if desired. Mixture should be thick and you'll need to spread it evenly in a 13x9 pan sprayed with cooking spray. You may want to spray the spatula as well to keep the mix from sticking when spreading it out. Be sure its even because it won't even out when baking. Then cook 20-30 minutes checking at 20 by inserting a tooth pick and seeing if it comes out clean. Mine took 30 minutes to cook through. *If you want to leave out the nuts just skip those steps and do everything else the same you can also substitute for any other nuts (pecans ect).*

Basic chocolate icing

1/4 C canned condensed milk or regular milk works too
1/4 C melted butter
1/4 C cocoa
3 C powdered sugar
Dash salt

Put all in bowl and mix with hand mixer on medium low speed until all combined, scraping down the sides with a spatula as needed.While the brownies are still in the pan ice when still warm for a nice smooth icing and sprinkle with chopped walnuts if desired.
Enjoy!
