Frosted Fudge Brownies

Last week, I had to bake for my uncle's reunion, and his request was brownie ^^.

I was happy that it was a huge success, but the point was I gave all my brownie that I baked to my uncle and no one in my family had a chance to eat it. The next day, my brother said to me that he wanted to eat the brownie too.
Well, it's not a hard thing to bake a pan of brownie, anyway I didn't want to bake the same recipe again. But how can you make brownie, esp. fudge brownie different when all the ingredient of every recipes are almost the same. So rather than adding or removing ingredients I just topping it with the frosting, haha. Simple cocoa frosting, that made by beating butter, icing sugar and cocoa powder together, easy and delicious. I use Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur) to add delicious nutty fragrance to my frosting, but I know that some people don't have (or don't want to use) it, in that case you can use vanilla extract too.
If you want to cut it neatly, chill the brownie after frosting to set it before cutting into pieces.
