Double Decker Coconut Cream Brownies

There are two kinds of people in this world:

Sweet dessert lovers

and

Rich dessert lovers

I am the latter. 

Brownies are my weakness. There I said it. Now don't go using it against me!

You can wave lollipops and candy corn in front of me for as long as you want, I won't take 'em. Too sweet for me.

But put a plate of rich fudgy brownies nearby and I'm in trouble. And you're out of luck, because I just ate your brownie ;)

These are my favorite brownies on the planet. I have never tasted one that I like better. I make them all the time, but this time, I wanted to add a little something. Frosting. Coconut frosting.
I went a little overboard when piping the coconut goodness on this particular brownie. It seemed the frosting to brownie ratio was a bit off. No big deal, just add another brownie!
Ahhh, perfect!

For the brownies:

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup cocoa powder
• 2 cups sugar

For the frosting:

• 1 cup butter softened

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350*

In a large microwave safe bowl melt the butter and stir in the cocoa until well incorporated. Add in the sugar, vanilla, salt and eggs, stirring well with a wooden spoon after each egg addition. Slowly stir in the flour until well blended and smooth. Pour into a greased 9x13" pan and bake for 22-24 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Do not over bake, you want these nice and fudgy! Let cool before frosting.
