This recipe came from Betty Crocker's website.  These are so easy and so good.  My husband has forbid me to make these cause he always wants to eat the whole pan.

2 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons milk

Topping

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup butter

Heat oven to 350.  Grease bottom of 13 x 9 pan with cooking spray. 
In medium bowl, stir brownie mix according to box directions.  Spread in pan.  Bake 28 - 30 minutes or until toothpick  inserted comes out clean.  Cool completely, about an hour.
In medium bowl, beat filling ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.  Spread mixture evenly over brownie base.
In small microwavable bowl, microwave topping ingredients uncovered on high 30-60 seconds; stir until smooth.  Cool 10 minutes; spread over filling.  Refrigerate about 30 minutes or until set.  For brownies, cut into 9 rows by 4 rows.

Corn A Rooney

I am really not for sure of the name of this recipe but this is what my daughter always called it.  I got this from my boss Cheryl who is an awesome cook.  When we can, the office always requests her to make this. Cause it is SO good.

1 can whole kernel corn, not drained
1 can creamed corn
1 stick butter, melted
1 cup dry macaroni
1 cup Velveeta, cubed

Stir all ingredients together.  Spray casserole dish.  Bake 45 minutes at 350 degrees.  Stir after 15 minutes.
