Kahlua Brownies


Here is another recipe that came from the Bridesmaid Test Kitchen while making the cookbook for my sister's bridal shower. This is from another family recipes submitted by one of my brother-in-law's relatives. It was delicious but REALLY sweet. I can't believe I'm saying this, but the Kahlua may have been a touch overpowering. The next time I make them, I may cut down the amount used, maybe more specifically in the frosting. I also forgot to make the glaze. But I love brownies, especially ones with frosting, so I'm sure I will make this again!
 
Brownies

  • Brownie mix (I used Hershey's that I buy at BJ's)
  • 1/2 cup Kahlua*
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 2 eggs
Frosting
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla
  • 2 Tbsp. Kahlua*
  • 2-3 Tbsp. milk
Glaze
  • 1 Tbsp. butter, melted
  • 1 oz. Nestle Toll House Choco Bake (pre-melted, unsweetened chocolate flazor), melted
* You may make Bailey's Irish Cream Brownies by substituting Bailey's instead of Kahlua.

DIRECTIONS
  1. Combine ingredients for the brownies.
  2. Bake brownies per the directions of the brownie mix package.
  3. Prepare the frosting
    If you like frosting, make 1 1/2 times the frosting recipe.
  4. Prepare the glaze by mixing the melted butter and Choco Bake.
  5. Once the brownies are frosted, put on the glaze, pouring on top and swirling it through.
