OMG Brownies

In a mixing bowl, melt the butter, 1 cup chocolate chips and sugar in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and stir until melted and smooth. Stir in the remaining ingredients and mix until just well blended, do not overmix. Spread batter into a 9x13-inch metal pan, that has been sprayed with cooking spray, and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 23 minutes or until a cake tester, inserted in center of pan, comes out clean. Remove from oven to a wire rack and allow to cool in the pan.

Meanwhile, prepare the CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM by placing the chocolate and the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwaving for about 1 minute. Stir until melted and well blended and add the vanilla, stirring again. Allow to cool to a spreadable consistency and whip until creamy with a small wire whisk or spoon. Spread thinly over the cooled brownies and, once set, cut into 24 squares.
