- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

Prepare pan: Grease the bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan to prevent sticking.

Top brownies: Once the brownies are done baking, remove them from the oven and immediately spread the topping mixture evenly over the hot brownies.

Return to oven: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the topping is set and slightly golden brown.
