I think I picked this recipe up from one of Maida Heatter's books. Wherever it came from, these are lovely, sophisticated brownies that have a kiss of espresso flavor, making them a perfect adult treat and a sure thing for garnering compliments.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
2 extra large eggs
2 tablespoons kahlua or 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur
1/4 cup espresso powder
1 cup sweet butter
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup mini chocolate chip
2/3 cup chopped walnuts (or any nuts you like) or 2/3 cup pecans (or any nuts you like)
Directions:
1. Line a 9 x 13 baking pan with aluminum foil and spray with Pam.
2. Cream butter, sugars, beating well.
3. Add eggs, Kahlua, vanilla and espresso powder.
4. Add chocolate, then dry ingredients, nuts and chocolate chips.
5. Turn mixture into the prepared baking pan.
6. Bake at 375 degrees farenheit for 25 minutes. The brownies will feel very soft when done. DO NOT OVERBAKE.
7. Let brownies cool in pan for 15 minutes then move to cool on a wire rack.
8. Wrap each brownie in wax paper, cellophane or fancy foil squares found in the candy making section.
