Torani Sweet Heat Brownies
1 package of brownie mix
Frosting:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp butter
¼ cup Torani Sweet Heat Syrup
Glaze:
2 tbsp butter
4 oz semisweet chocolate chip

 
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter an 8×8 inch baking pan. Prepare the brownie batter according to package directions and pour into prepared pan (disregard instruction about a 9×13 inch pan). Bake until just set in the center, about 30 minutes. Let brownies cool to room temperature.

 
Beat powdered sugar, butter, and syrup until creamy. Frost brownies, then cover and chill until set. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Take pan off the heat. Add chocolate chips, cover, and let sit until chips melt –about 5 minutes. Stir to combine into a glaze. Cool slightly and drizzle over frosted brownies. Serve right away or cover and store at room temperature.
