HERSHEY SQUARES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease the bottom of a 9 by 13 inch pan or jelly roll/brownie pan.
• After melting butter in microwave, cream sugar and butter together. Add eggs, one at a time and beating well after each addition.
• Add vanilla extract.
• Add flour, mix well.
• Add Hershey syrup, mix well.
• Add chopped nuts, if using.
• Pour batter into pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until brownies test done with a toothpick.
• When the brownies are almost done baking, prepare icing.
• Bring to boil in the microwave, the butter, cocoa and 1 T. milk.
• In a mixing bowl, add confectioners' sugar. Add the cocoa mixture to the sugar and beat well. Add 1 t. vanilla extract. Add the rest of the milk. Add enough to get the desired spreading consistency.
• Let brownies cool about 5-10 minutes. Spread icing on brownies. Sprinkle with some more chopped nuts, if desired. The icing will harden to a fudge-like consistency.
• Let brownies cool completely before cutting into squares.

Steps:

• Line 8- or 9-inch square pan with foil, extending foil over edges of pan. Butter foil.
• Mix sugar, cocoa and salt in heavy 4-quart saucepan; stir in milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to full rolling boil.
• Boil, without stirring, until mixture reaches 234°F on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water, forms a soft ball which flattens when removed from water. (Bulb of candy thermometer should not rest on bottom of saucepan.)
• Remove from heat. Add butter and vanilla. Do not stir. Cool at room temperature to 110°F (lukewarm). Beat with wooden spoon until fudge thickens and just begins to lose some of its gloss. Quickly spread into prepared pan; cool completely.
• Cut into squares. Store in tightly-covered container at room temperature.
