Ingredients:

- 16 ounces chocolate syrup
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions:
| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). |
| 2 | Grease a 13×9 inch baking pan, ensuring even coverage to prevent sticking. |
| 3 | In a large mixing bowl, beat together the sugar and softened butter until creamy and well combined. |
| 4 | Add in the vanilla extract, eggs, and chocolate syrup, and blend the mixture until smooth and homogeneous. |
| 5 | Lightly spoon the all-purpose flour into a measuring cup, then level it off with a knife for accuracy. Add the flour to the chocolate mixture and stir until fully incorporated. |
| 6 | Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula for uniform thickness. |
| 7 | Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with only a few moist crumbs attached. |
| 8 | Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. |
| 9 | While the brownies are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. |
| 10 | Stir in the cocoa powder and heat the mixture until it comes to a gentle boil, ensuring to stir constantly to prevent burning. |
| 11 | Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the cocoa mixture cool slightly. |
| 12 | Gradually blend in the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, stirring until the frosting is smooth and well combined. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed. |
| 13 | If desired, stir in nuts of your choice into the frosting for added texture and flavor. |
| 14 | Carefully spread the frosting over the cooled brownies in the pan, ensuring an even layer across the surface. |
| 15 | Allow the frosting to set for a few minutes to firm up before cutting the brownies into bars of your preferred size. |
| 16 | Serve and enjoy these delectable Chocolate Syrup Brownies as a delightful treat for any occasion! |
