Brownies

2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda

2 cubes margarine
3 1/2 Tablespoons cocoa
1 cup water

Remove from heat & with electric beater; Mix in 1/2 cup buttermilk, flour mixture & 2 eggs. Pour into greased & floured pan 12x18 pan. Bake @ 350 for 20 minutes.

FROSTING:
In same saucepan put 1 cube of butter, 3 1/2 Tablespoons cocoa, 1/3 cup regular milk. Heat until 1st bubble appears. Remove from heat, beat in 1 lb. pkg powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 cup chopped nuts. Spread on brownies while hot.

Almonds are really good with this but taste better when toasted you can toast then for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. We've also made it with Pecans and walnuts and all are good. :)
When I do mine I just put all the dry ingredients in my kitchen aid and then after it's heated up to that 1st bubble I start the mixer and then pour in the liquid parts! It works great!
