    Don't be sorry! It means the mystique of the recipe is your gramma's touch. I have a friend, an extraordinary baker, who freely shares her recipes........only, my attempts never quite measure up, even though I am above average at producing yummy desserts myself. :)

    Just baked the brownies and was so disappointed because they were so dense, and dry...maybe that's the reason for the frosting? Sorry sister's won't be making these again...will stick with my Hershey's recipe. P.S. Way too much sugar and flour...I think!

    Regarding the icing ~ I've made this icing for YEARS ~ it was my mother's and needs a little more instruction, I would say. It's SO simple if you heat the butter (I've always used butter) and water almost to a boil, then add the cocoa and powdered sugar. If I'm making a large batch, I make it in my Kitchen Aid bowl over the stove, and set it on and off the heat as it "sets up" through cooling. Add the vanilla after the icing is made, as the volatile ingredients can be lost through heating. SUCH a rich, delicious frosting! I can't wait to try the different recipes it goes with (the Turtles sound incredible!!)
