Do you frost your brownies or

leave them naked?

As I sit at my desk eating a frosted brownie I am pondering this question.

Personally I have never had a frosted brownie, that just doesn't usually come in the mixes I buy. My bosses wife made them and he brought them in to share....a very good breakfast I might add!

Nope if brownies are good they don't need frosting. To me if it's frosted it's cake.

I do but I also add marshmellows. Right before my brownies are done I top with marshmellows, they become bubbly. When cool, I frost with milk chocolate frosting and sprinkle chopped pecans.

Naked. But I like them warm with ice cream and caramal sauce.

Mmmmmmm, frosted brownies are yummy! May I also suggest you try M & M's on your brownies some time. Just sprinkle a nice healthy layer and then bake. I think I know what I'm doing today.....

Unfrosted!!

Best breakfast is warm gooey brownie with a cold glass of milk. It's the breakfast of champions.

 

[lizardqueen]

all depends on what mood i'm in. sometimes we frost them with all kinds of things -- cream cheese, caramel sauce, icing and m&ms, peanut butter -- other times, they are best left naked!

Naked.
A good brownie needs no frosting.
I do sometimes add chocolate chips to the batter though

No frosting. Like others have said a good brownie needs nothing extra. This is assuming there are chocolate peices and walnuts already mixed in.

DH often sprinkle confectioner's sugar on top whne they are done baking. He picked it up from his mom. I think it's mostl;y for decoration, but it's still good! I enjoy brownies both ways, but if you frost it has to be chocolate only and the brownie can't be too "fudgie" or else it's just too rich.

Sometimes but I use chopped up Ande's mints, sprinkle them on the brownies when you take them out of the oven, let them sit for a few minutes so they melt and spread. These are OH so yummy.

To frost or not to frost that is the question... My kids like them frosted and my husband doesn't. It just depends on if I have frosting in the pantry at the time.

Naked is the way to go!

That sounds like brownie heaven!!

But I love my brownies nakid.

Good brownies don't need frosting! They also don't need nuts, but that's a serious debate for another time.

ps. That Andes candy trick sounds yummy! Good brownies can have some mint!

I sprinkle confectioners sugar on mine, too. Makes them pretty--plus there's evidence on dd's shirt if she tries to sneak one.

I like to put a layer of densely packed chocolate chips on top of the batter just before baking - indescribeably delicious

 

[OK!]

My favorite brownies (made from scratch with Ghirardelli chocolate) aren't frosted, but I certainly wouldn't be so presumptutous as to turn away a frosted brownie if one were offered to me!

Usually naked. Sometimes cover with a layer of peanut butter and then frost with chocolate frosting...YUM.
