Mix in all the other ingredients (except the last bit for the pan). Butter a 9x13" pan and dust with cocoa powder (great idea Jill!). Pour the batter into the pan, bake for 20 min until toothpick comes out almost clean, and cool for 10-20 min.

Melt together until smooth, cool for 5 min, spread over brownies, and stick back in the fridge until ready to serve.
