1(16 oz) box light brown sugar

4 large eggs,slightly beaten
1 1/2 c self rising flour

1/2 c unsalted butter
1/2 c dark brown sugar
4 Tbsp evaporated milk or whipping cream
1/8 tsp salt( omit if using salted butter)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x 13 baking pan with non stick cooking spray.
2. Melt butter. Pour into mixing bowl and add the box of brown sugar and eggs.Stir in the flour.salt and pecans.
3. Pour into prepared pan and bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Bake until light brown and edges pull away from the pan slightly. About 5 minutes before the brownies are done start making the icing.
4. For the icing melt butter and dark brown sugar in a medium sized heavy sauce pan over low heat. Stir in the milk or cream. Bring to a boil,stirring constantly . Boil for one minute. Remove from heat.
5. Stir in vanilla and then beat in sifted powdered sugar until well mixed and smooth. Pour over the hot brownies.
6. Let the brownies cool and the icing set up for at 2-3 hours before cutting. I have also used icing with a sheet cake made from a butter recipe yellow cake mix and to make praline thumbprint cookies.
