Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 can (16 ounces) chocolate syrup
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
FROSTING:
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in chocolate syrup and extract. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to chocolate mixture.
Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean (brownies may appear moist). Cool on a wire rack.
For frosting, in a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and 1 cup whipped topping; stir until smooth. Cool. Fold in extract and remaining whipped topping. Spread over cooled brownies. Sprinkle with almonds. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 3 dozen.

Agree MSBOOP, We should all be aware that not all recipes are for all consumers. If I am seeking low fat/calorie/sugar or other no/no's, I will look at a sight that caters to special dietary needs or desires. I can tell by looking wether a recipe meets my dietary desires. Then~ I just want to know what you think of the particular recipe that you tried. Thanks

These were excellent, and YES I expected them to be fattening, but look at the ingredients, if you want non fat, then don't make something with butter, sugar, eggs, chocolate, IF you want a REALLY GOOD DESSERT make these, and please, when you rate a recipe, make it about the recipe,(TASTE) not the content?

For the person worried about the "surgar" count look after the number of servings in the nutrition information and it has 21 g carbohydrates per brownie, that's the sugar.

What is the sugar value in 1 brownie? With 1 c. sugar and a can of chocolate syrup, it seems it would be rather high.
