Chocolate Syrup Brownies are moist and full of chocolate goodness. My mother’s go to brownie recipe will become you favorite brownie recipe!
This is one of those recipes that after over four years of blogging I can not believe I haven’t shared with you. I have shared other brownie recipes, but my Chocolate Syrup Brownie Recipe is the recipe I have been using most of my life. It is the These are the Best Brownies. I can call them this because this is my mother’s recipe and her last name is Best! But I can also call them that because they are divine!
The recipe calls for a can of chocolate syrup and a half a cup of semi sweet chocolate chips. This makes for a chocolatey, fudgy brownie. Just the way I like them.
The frosting for these brownies is cooked and it makes for a nice fudge like frosting! Let it cool a bit to thicken up before you spread it on the top of the brownies.
After they cool and the frosting sets up cut them into squares and of course place them on a pretty plate. These brownies taste pretty amazing but I think they taste even better when they are served on a pretty plate.
A good brownie recipe is a must have for every cook so if you don”t have one- now you do!
These brownies are everything a brownie should be – chocolatey, fudgey and moist.

Some of my favorite kitchen tools I use to make Chocolate Syrup Brownies:
9 x 13 GLASS PAN – I actually own three of these and they seem to be in constant use.
6 PIECE MEASURING CUP SET – Everyone needs at least one set of measuring cups, I have 4 sets!
MAGNETIC MEASURING SPOONS – I love these things. They are magnetic so they stay together in the drawer!

YUM! I have been craving something chocolately and I think these will hit the mark this weekend!
These look yummy. How much butter is in the frosting?
Oops – left that out. That’s what I get for doing a post when I’m tired. I’ve got it fixed now – 6 Tbsp.
You had me at chocolate syrup! These sound amazing!
I buy Hershey’s syrup in the large bottles at Costco so I was in a dilema wondering just how much syrup is in a can AND is there more than one size can. Went online and from the Hershey’s website they have the same recipe minus that wonderful sounding frosting. They are saying that a 16 ounce can of syrup is 1 1/2 cups. Was it a 16 ounce can that you used?
Thank you..
Deloris, The can was 16 oz. Thanks for checking. I’ll update the recipe with that info.
I’m definitely going to try these brownies, I haven’t found a go-to brownie recipe yet!

These are delicious!! Made them yesterday and they were a huge hit 🙂
So glad you liked them!
These Look AMAZING!!
Thank you for the recipe. I made them over the weekend for a special friend.
I had to make the frosting twice because I didn’t follow your instructions to boil the sugar and milk before adding the other ingredients! Next time I’ll pay closer to attention to all of your details.
Thank you!
I hope you and your friend enjoyed them!
They were really good but a little cakey but I’d like to know if you know how many calories they have
Overall the we delicious!
Glad you liked them, don’t know how many calories are in them. Not sure I want to know 🙂
I wanted to try your chocolate syrup brownie recipe. I have some recipes that are close to the same except, some have baking powder (1/2 tsp) in them. Just wanted to make sure when I make yours that I don’t have to put the baking powder in it. Thanks!
The recipe is correct as written. Enjoy!
