FROSTING ON BROWNIES, YEA OR NAY?

I know I will lose horribly here but I have to see if there are others like me.

    Unnecessary if the brownies are sufficiently fudgy

    What flavor frosting are we talking here?

    I prefer some fudge icing on there, but I ain't turning down a brownie either way

    chocolate frosting, which I contend is just adding very little to the experience of a well made fudgy brownie.

    What you do is you get a bag of Andes Mint chips, spread them over the top of the brownies right after they come out of the oven, spread like frosting and let cool completely if you want to eat them without a fork, or eat warm if you feel like using a fork. Best brownies ever.

    Brownies rule, but I'm not going to lie, chocolate chip cookie bars (however they are made) are my absolute favorite.

    if there's frosting on the brownies, then it's hiding that crispy top-crust

    Brownie already fulfills the sensations of Chocolate and Thick. Any frosting would need to be something contrasting that, so light and some other flavor. Whipped cream seems excessive but I wouldn't turn it down over a brownie

    The point of a good brownie is that it doesn't need anything extra on it.

    Cream cheese frosting on a brownie is rivalled only by a dollop of ice cream.

    Depends on the brownies. There is a wide variety of brownies.

    Brownies shouldn't need it. If they do they're already a mediocre brownie.

    See, I like a burnt brownie, or close to it, which most people would say is mad. You can keep that fudgy moist shit, give me the Oops All Corners pan and cook it for 10 extra minutes.

    I prefer them this way too, but I still don't want frosting on them. Maybe a very light dusting of powdered sugar

    I was inspired. Corner piece, very fudgy, no frosting necessary.

    Personally I'm in the "no frosting needed" camp but I also decided to ask my partner, who is a professional baker, and here is their answer:

    "If anything, a little powdered sugar on top is fine but that's it. If you wanna put frosting on top then just make a cake."

    Edit: Also I prefer the middles pieces that are soft throughout. No hard corner pieces for me.

    A properly fudgy brownie needs nothing but a glass of milk to accompany.

    The real pro brownie topper is salt, ideally big chunky crystals

    a brownie doesn't need frosting, but it's not against the law, maaaaaaaaaan
