Let’s cook together!
This recipe is for chocolate icing that you can put over a pan of brownies, over a cake, or to dip your strawberries in! You can even cool this in blobs onto wax/parchment paper and then eat as candy!
This recipe covers a pan of brownies. Double it to make more. (Please make sure there’s a grownup present when handling hot pans or using kitchen appliances!)

1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 stick of butter (1/4 cup)
