IMO, making "fudgy" brownies is the way to go. Fudgy is good for a
confectioner's sugar dusting, prettied up by using a doily template
Bake a little longer to make the brownies cakier and you can frost
them with chocolate chips. Just place the chips on the hot batch of
brownies, wait a minute and spread. They don't visibly melt, but they
soften up so you can spread them easily.
