Preparation
In a large bowl, cream sugar and butter until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add syrup. Gradually add flour and mix well. Fold in nuts. Pour into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan.
Bake at 350° until top springs back when lightly touched. 30-35 minutes. Cool slightly.
Meanwhile, for icing, combine sugar, butter and milk in a small saucepan. Cook and stir until mixture comes to a rolling boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Working quickly, remove from the heat; stir in vanilla and chocolate chips until chips are melted. (Mixture will be thin.) Immediately pour over brownies. Cool completely before cutting.
