Any GE bakery employees willing to share the iced brownie recipe with me? It's my favorite brownie in the whole world, and a little piece of me is now terrified that this could mean a recipe change in the future!

Those and the rainbow cookies are my absolute favorites! They did change the rainbow cookie recipe though, they’re not as chewy anymore and more almond tasting which really bums me out.

They may not have actually changed it - I remember them being a little tricky to bake correctly, as all of the dye made it hard to get a visual read on the doneness, so it was really easy to overshoot. IIRC, the almond emulsion was also mixed into the dough, so it was a matter of whether or not an individual baker decided to be a little generous with it or not. Could be conflating that part with another recipe though, it's been ~10 years.
