Brownies

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup butter
3 fluid ounces boiling water
3 eggs
4 ounces chocolate chips (40-50% cocoa)
5 ounces chopped pecan nuts

For the frosting
6 tablespoons milk
6 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla

In a saucepan, combine butter, sugar, and milk.
Bring to a boil and back for 30 seconds.
chips and vanilla, take off stove; let sit for 2 minutes to melt chips- don't stir during this time or frosting will be grainy.
After 2 minutes, stir well.
Frost brownies while icing is warm;
Frosting will be runny(pour) but will set up on the brownies.
cool completely and cut into squares.
