Ingredients
2 1/2 cups butter
4 1/2 cups sugar
5 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup Hershey's cocoa
2 teaspoons baking soda
3 cups chocolate chips

1. Cream the butter and sugar together. Slowly add eggs and vanilla, mix well. Combine the flour, cocoa and baking soda. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and mix well. Add 2 cups of chocolate chips to the mix. Top with 1 cup of chocolate chips before baking.

2. Spoon the mixture into a baking sheet with a 2-inch cake edge,
which will allow the brownies to rise in the oven.

3. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes, or until brownies are set.

4. Once cool, drizzle with chocolate icing.
