Amaretto Brownies
Brownies:
1 and 1/2 cups sugar
2/3 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup flour
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/4 cup Amaretto
1 cup almonds, chopped
Frosting:
16 oz. confectioner's sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
2/3 cup nuts, chopped (optional)
Combine all brownie ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Spread into a greased 13 x 9 inch-baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Allow to cool before frosting.
To make frosting, melt butter in a saucepan and add buttermilk and cocoa, slowly add confectioner's sugar and continue stirring until smooth. Frost cooled brownies and sprinkle with nuts if desired
