Cool completely and frost with White Fudge Frosting (recipe follows) or Chocolate Buttercream Frosting (recipe follows)
White Fudge Frosting: In a saucepan, melt the butter. Add the granulated sugar and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, and bring to a boil. Be careful not to scorch the milk. Remove from heat, and stir in the vanilla. Allow to cool. Gradually add the pwd sugar, as much as is needed to reach desired consistency. Stir in additional milk if needed.
Chocolate Buttercream Frosting: In a large bowl, cream the butter. Gradually add the pwd sugar, cocoa and salt, alternately with the whipping cream and melted chocolate, scraping bowl often and beating well after each addition. Stir in the corn syrup. Frost brownies.
