Delicious and decadent

So, if you followed some of my tips in last week's column and made the Spinach Quiche the low-fat way, you saved yourself a few calories, which is good, because this week, you're going to need the cushion.

Milky Way Bar Icing is sweet and decadent, it's more than likely you will only be able to eat one small brownie; two, and your teeth may begin to hurt, but it's worth it.I got this recipe many years ago from a woman named JoLynn. I can't even remember her last name, but I never forgot those brownies. Over the years I made them for parties and fundraisers and they were always a big hit. In fact, my youngest daughter would often make them when she worked for the county over the summer, and the employees in the office where she worked loved them so much, she wondered if that was how she got hired back every summer.They are decadent and delicious, and definitely easy to make. So if you have a sweet tooth, this just might be the answer.JoLynn's Milky Way Bar Icing2 full-size Milky Way bars or 8 fun size, chopped1 stick of butter1 teaspoon vanilla4 cups powdered sugar (approximately)3 tablespoons milk (approximately)1 13-inch by 9-inch pan of brownies (from a mix or your favorite recipe)Melt butter in a large sauce pan, then add chopped candy bars.
