Brownies and Chocolate Frosting

I was planning to make homemade brownies, but that changed when I discovered we had 12 boxes of brownie mix left over from girl's camp. The frosting was homemade, however.

This recipe makes one 8 x 8-inch pan. Double the recipe for a 9 x 13-inch pan.

In a saucepan, melt butter. Remove from heat and stir in cocoa and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each egg. Add vanilla. Add flour, baking pwder, and salt and mix thoroughly.

Pour into a greased 8 x 8-inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.
