Please note the butter can burn really easily and spoil the taste DO NOT over cook for the sake of your baking guys”¦ it will taste like burnt hair”¦ haha slight exaggeration but you catch my drift”¦

Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract and milk. Whisk together until smooth (it should be thicker than a glaze but thinner than frosting). Using a spatula, spread the brown butter frosting over the warm bars (the frosting will be easier to spread while the bars are still warm).
