Enjoy these bad boys with a nice glass of Cherry Riesling wine that has been chilled (or in my case, use Michigan shaped ice cubes... I know...) with your girlfriends or alone while watching your favorite guilty pleasure show after the kids have gone to bed.

Ingredients
Brownies
  • 2 cups of Sugar
  • 1 Stick of Unsalted Butter
  • ½ cup of Wine
  • ¼ cup of Cocoa
  • 2 tablespoons of Milk
  • 2 cups of Old Fashioned Oats
  • 1½ cups of Flour
  • 1 teaspoon of Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon of Baking Powder
  • ½ cup of Milk
  • 2 cups of Chocolate Chips
Frosting
  • 1½ Powder Sugar
  • 3 tablespoons of Cocoa
  • 2 tablespoons of Wine
  • 2 tablespoons of Milk
  • 4 tablespoons of Unsalted Butter (softened)
Instructions
  1. Combine 2 cups of old fashioned oats, 1½ cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Stir to combine and set aside.
  2. Combine 2 cups of sugar, 1 stick of butter, ½ cup of wine, ¼ cup of cocoa, and 2 tablespoons of milk. Bring to a rapid boil (just like you would for No Bakes). Boil for a minute and remove from the heat. Pour over your dry ingredients and stir (use a strong spoon).
  3. Add your 2 cups of chocolate chips and ¼ cup of milk. Mixture will be thick.
  4. Pour the batter into an 8x8 or 9x9 greased pan. Bake at 350 for 32-40 minutes or until it passes the toothpick test.
  5. Patiently wait for the brownies to cool.
Frosting
  1. Place your powdered sugar, cocoa, softened butter, wine, and milk in a bowl. Use your hand mixer because this is not a lot of frosting and beat until well combined.
  2. Spread/pour over your cooled brownies and spread evenly.
  3. Place the brownies in the fridge for at least thirty minutes for the frosting to "crisp" up. Cut into the desired size you would like and enjoy with more wine.
Notes
If you want to add more wine or milk because you want the frosting to be thinner, OR if you want to add more powdered sugar to make it thicker, by all means do so.

AND please note that the prep time does not include cooling time.
