pan completely. Bake at 325F for 20 minutes or till top is shiny.

bake. Cool on wire rack. Icing: Melt butter in pan over medium heat,

icing cool till it is thick enough to spread. Frost brownies.
Meanwhile melt 2 squares semisweet chocolate (in microwave or on top
of double boiler). Immediately pour melted chocolate into ziploc
baggie and seal. Snip corner from bag and squeeze out over frosted
brownies in crisscross pattern. With a blunt knife, swirl chocolate
and icing together to create marbled effect. Cut into bars when icing
has set.
