Dark chocolate is a favorite around our house, so these frosted brownies are a hit. I came up with this treat by reworking a recipe I've used for a long time. We have six children, and these brownies disappear so fast I sometimes wonder if I actually made a batch. -Linda McCoy, Oostburg, Wisconsin Ingredients:
2 cups packed brown sugar |
1 cup butter, melted |
3 eggs |
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup baking cocoa |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped |
frosting: |
1/4 butter, melted |
3 tablespoons sour cream |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2-3/4 to 3 cups confectioners' sugar |
2 ounces grated bittersweet chocolate |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine brown sugar and butter. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add coffee and vanilla; mix well. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add to sugar mixture. Stir in chocolate.
