Yesterday you were in trouble and today you need to impress a girl or boy? Well, you're in luck. I like to call these "Fall in love with me" brownies. It works. Trust me.
Girls like chocolate. And you know what they like even more than that? Boys who can bake them something with chocolate. True story.
Boys are suckers for a good baked good. Just show up with these and you're set. If he isn't impressed well...he's clearly crazy.
So go grab some chocolate and impress some people.
These brownies are more cakey than fudgy. The brownie itself isn't hugely sweet but the frosting makes it perfectly sweet. As a last minute idea, I added some Almond Joy Pieces that I had left over. You can leave them out but I thought they added a nice touch to the brownie and made it a little more interesting.

In a heavy medium saucepan, melt the butter and chocolates until smooth. Remove from the heat and cool. Stir in sugar and vanilla. Add the eggs until well mixed. Then add the flour, baking powder, and salt until fully combined.

Cool brownies and enjoy.
