Killer brownies for Catcaio

[marmalady]

Coffe, Kahlua, chocolate - it doesn't get much better!

Killer Brownies

Preheat oven to 350. Butter either a 7 x 9 pan or 9 x 13, depending on how thick you want the brownies (or how far you want to stretch them!) The 9 x 13 will take a little less time to cook.

Mix together and set aside:

1/3 cup hot espresso
2T. Kahlua
1/4 cup hot fudge topping (I like Hershey's for this)

Sift together:

1 scant cup flour
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup Dark cocoa

Beat together in mixer on med/low speed:

3/4 cup melted cooled butter
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 tsp. vanilla

Add and mix well:

3 eggs

Then add the coffee/kahlua/fudge topping mixture

By hand, blend in the dry ingredients well.

Pour into pan, and bake for 30-40 minutes.

Since I live in a 'divided nut' family, I sprinkle chopped toasted walnuts or pecans over the top of half the pan, and leave the other half plain.

Happy eating!

Oooohhhh, I just found your recipe M, since it's a new thread. I want to make them now but I have everything but the chocolate sauce-darn it! I'll let you know how it goes. Like YOU need to know.

Thank you so much!
