Killer Kahlua Brownies


The title of this recipe says it all ....these are definitley Killer Kahlua Brownies! My favorite brownies yet and my son's favorite also. They were gone in no time at all. You can barely taste the kahlua but it does kick up the chocolate flavor. I'm telling you that these brownies, to me, are over the top good!!! I found the recipes on Anna's site Cookie Madness. I've made a number of recipes she has posted and have never been disappointed. Hope you visit her site a if you are not familiar with it.

I had something happen to me this morning that was very upsetting. Went with a good friend to IHOP for breakfast and had my usual Swedish crepes with Lingonberries. Well I was almost done with my meal and wham I chewed on something hard. It looked like a piece glass to me about the size of a small tooth. Of course I immediately called over the managment who assured me this was just very hard plastic. They asked if I had used any syrup, since that is served in hard plastic dispensers. I didn't since they have those delicious lingonberries on the crepes along with lingonberry butter. They were very apologetic and didn't charge for my crepes but it was very eye opening for me. Wonder how much goes on in restaurants that we aren't aware of and don't see. Anyhow, the whole thing just was very unsettling to me.

Getting back to these brownies, please make these if you enjoy brownies. I think you'll love them!!!

1/3 cup butter, unsalted (divided use)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cocoa, unsweetened
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 tablespoons boiling water and 2 tablespoons Kahlua
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg, slightly beaten
2/3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans (I omitted these)
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 inch meta pan with foil. Grease bottom of pan.

Melt the butter and set aside to cool. In mixing bowl, stir together the cocoa and baking soda. Add HALF of the butter, then add boiling water and Kahlua. Stir until well blended. Stir in sugar, beaten egg and remaining butter. Stir in flour and salt followed by the chocolate chips and nuts. Pour chocolate brownie batter into pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 27-30 minutes or until brownies appear firm and begin to pull away from sides of pan. Cool before cutting into squares.

Those brownies look and sound fantastic! I will be trying these for sure.
Sorry to hear about your experience. When I was in high school I was at Arby's and I bit into one of their roast beef sandwiches and there was a small plastic block in it!!! Never been back to an Arby's since!!

Whoa, what a disconcerting experience at IHOP. I've often wondered what goes on behind those kitchen doors at restaurants. The brownies look divine (and devilish)!

Kahlua.... oh, yeh.... or Tia Maria... my fav, even in my coffee. I'll definitely try these..


One of the reasons I rarely eat in restaurants... and if you have ever worked in a restaurant kitchen...ick... forget it.... eating at home is so much safer believe me.

My first episode of gagging in a restaurant.... a bandaid in my chicken pot pie.... I thought it was a piece of chicken and was trying to pierce it with my fork. Managment totally denied it was in my food.

Commercial staples that fractured a tooth... must have fallen in from a box of burger patties or something I guess...

Several longish grey hairs in my stack of french fries... and the rest of the people laughed for awhile...til 3 more of them found the same in theirs... the cook must have literally been pulling out her hair.... we all gagged and left...

let me see...what else...oh, yes... a piece of velcro stuck to my fork grazed my lower lip with my first bit of salad one time.. ... what the heck? I wondered if it was a fork from a display or something....

anyway... very rare for me to eat out....
