Frosted Cocoa Bars

• 1-1/4 cups shortening
• 1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup corn syrup
• 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs, room temperature
• 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup baking cocoa
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup butter
• 3 cups confectioners' sugar
• 2 tablespoons brewed coffee
• 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 to 4 tablespoons whole milk

1. In a large bowl, cream shortening and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in corn syrup and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, cocoa and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
2. Spread into a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350u0b0 for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
3. In a large heavy saucepan, cook butter over medium heat for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. Pour into a small bowl; beat in the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough milk until frosting reaches spreading consistency.
4. Frost cooled brownies. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour, before cutting.
