Football Brownies

Ok, so you have to use your imagination a little to see the football. Don't worry if they're not perfect, no one will even notice anyways.

4 squares semi-sweet chocolate
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 tsps vanilla
3/4 cup flour
pinch of salt

3/4 cup icing sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 tsps milk or 10% cream

Start by melting the chocolate in the microwave on high 1  1/2 minutes. Remove from microwave and add the butter. Stir to melt. Zap it again for a bit if the butter doesn't melt all the way, then add the sugar.

Add eggs, vanilla, flour and salt and beat until combined. There is no baking powder in this recipe.

Line 2 baking pans with parchment paper. I used 2 - 9 X9" pans but if you want a thicker brownie use 2 - 8 X 8" pans and increase the bake time by about 5 minutes.

Pour batter into prepared pans and bake at 325F for 35-40 minutes.

Once cooled lift out of the pan using the parchment. Cut off the edges then cut in diagonals. Hopefully you can cut more evenly than I, but like I said before...who's going to notice?

Mix the icing sugar, vanilla and milk and spoon into a plastic bag. Snip the end off and start making those laces.
