Brownies--Frosting or no frosting?

[FlightlessDuck]

No frosting, cake-like, preferably with walnuts.

 

[StacyMarie]

I sprinkle chocolate chips on top before baking. Then, after they are cooled, I sprinkle powdered sugar on top! My kids LOVE them!

 

[buckler]

I prefer no frosting, fudgy. If your event is outdoors it might be better without frosting due to warm weather. Frosting might get runny if it is too hot.

 

[mtemm]

I prefer nuts and no frosting.

 

[klacey1]

No frosting!! I like chocolate chunk, but nothing on top!

 

[luvmy3]

Frosting is for cakes, don't do it!!!!!

 

[MIGrandma]

Frosting, with nuts on top!!

 

[BellePrincessBelle]

No frosting, no nuts, no silly candies inside. I like plain old brownies.

 

[lovesmurfs]

Frosting, unless you serve with ice cream on top....

 

[The Mystery Machine]

Prefer no frosting, but I will eat it either way. Oh and no nuts. I might pass it up then. I don't like nuts in my brownies.

 

[Master Gracy]

The thought of frosted brownies makes me feel a bit sick, I think it'd be too rich.
No nuts too!

 

[Darsa]

Definitely prefer no frosting, but I also make 'em more fudgy than cakey. If they're closer to cake texture, frosting is okay.

(and I walnuts in my brownies, like my mom used to make 'em)

I am known as the Brownie Queen around these parts. Seriously LOL I can't go ANYWHERE without people begging me to make brownies.

Anyhow, I will not refuse a brownie no matter what is on it or in it. I'll take it with or without frosting, with or without nuts, with or without ANYTHING really. I LOVE BROWNIES!!!!!!!!!!


BUT when I make them there are only TWO ways I make them. I either put a bag of chocolate chips in them or I make a cream cheese/mini chocolate chip mixture and spread it on the top of the batter before baking them.


MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

no nuts, no frosting. Brownie purist.

Oh, and Ghiradelli is now the only brownie from a box I'll use.

 

[Pirate Me]

No frosting; way too sweet.

That sounds delicious!!!

I don't like frosting and I undercook my brownies a few minutes. My kids like they gooey!

 

[hercamore]

I would go without frosting if kids are going to be eating the brownies. Less sugar and mess.

I buy the big box at Costco, and use 3 mixes in a large pan. I line it with quick release foil, bake, cool, and freeze. Then, I cut off what I need (I'm on the baking committee), and the brownies have straight edges (no crumbles). Everyone asks for my recipe!

OP, although ds12 LOVES when I frost the brownies, I don't think it's needed. I love nuts (walnuts) in mine, but most don't.

 

[DisneyBeagle]

OP here...It looks like I'll be going with no frosting (so far) and definitely no nuts. I like the idea of using the Ghiradelli mix.

 

[cteddiesgirl]

If they're gooey and not cake, then without frosting.
If they're more like a cake, then frosting.

Absolutely no nuts.
