Yield: 8-10 Servings

25 15 40

Ingredients

1/3 cup butter-flavored shortening
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1-1/2 teaspoons water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons baking cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup milk chocolate chips
FROSTING:
3-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, divided
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 tablespoon shortening
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 to 4 tablespoons milk, divided
Red paste food coloring

Directions

In a large bowl, cream shortening and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, water and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture until combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour into a greased and floured 9-in. heart-shaped baking pan.
Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until center is set (do not overbake). Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
In a large bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, butter, shortening, vanilla and 3 tablespoons milk; beat until smooth. Gradually add remaining confectioners' sugar; beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add enough remaining milk to achieve a frosting consistency. Frost brownie with 3/4 cup frosting. Using food coloring, tint remaining frosting and decorate as desired. Yield: 8-10 servings.

Hello your recipe calls for buttered-flavor shortening, but I can not seem to find it and every store I go to they tell me to make my own. Do you? And if so what are the measurements? Thanks
