KAHLUA BROWNIES WITH WHITE & DARK CHOCOLATE FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Grease and flour a 13x9x2 baking dish and set aside (can use a mix of cocoa and flour to prevent white edges around finished brownies) In a big bowl (preferably by hand, NOT mixer), combine well the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
• Add melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and Kahlua, and stir just until blended (do not overmix).
• Fold in chopped nuts, if you are using them.
• Put batter in prepared baking dish, evening out the batter with a spatula.
• Bake for 40- 45 minutes or until the edges of brownies begin to pull away from the sides of the dish.
• Remove from the oven and put dish on wire rack to cool.
• Immediately sprinkle dark chocolate chips over top of hot brownies.
• Lighly place a sheet of aluminum foil over dish to hold in and reflect heat.
• After about 5 minutes, when chips are melted, spread over the brownies with a spatula.
• Immediately sprinkle white chocolate over the frosting, and lightly cover dish with the foil again.
• After about 2 minutes, when chocolate is melted, gently swirl them into the dark chocolate to create a marbleized look.
• Let cool 2 hours before cutting.

KAHLUA BROWNIES

Steps:

• To make the brownies:.
• Melt together the butter and baking chocolate in a double boiler or microwavable bowl, stirring frequently.
• Pour into mixing bowl and let cool while you are collecting all your other ingredients.
• To the chocolate mixture, add the eggs and beat well.
• Then add the vanilla, kahlua and coffee crystals and mix well.
• Beat in the sugar, flour, salt and baking powder until well mixed.
• Scrape into a buttered 9x13 baking dish.
• Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes; do not overbake or the brownies will be dry.
• Let cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
• For frosting:.
• To melt the chocolate squares, I like to use a 1 cup glass measuring cup in the microwave; stirring often and using short time periods.
• To slightly cooled chocolate, stir in vanilla, kahlua, and coffee crystals.
• In a mixing bowl, beat butter until creamy.
• Alternately add sugar and chocolate mixture , beating until smooth.
• Add salt to taste (the saltiness should just bring out the sweetness, not overpower it).
• Spread over cooled brownies.
