I was saddled with the task of sending a treat along with my husband (who was headed to a Laker’s game viewing party).  Since I was creating a brownie for a bunch of manly, sports-obsessed men, I wanted to try something that had a bit of alcohol in it. These Kahlua Brownies have Kahlua (can sub any coffee-flavored liqueur) in the brownie itself. I also brush a couple of tablespoons of Kahlua on the brownies as they come out of the oven… and watch it soak into the top and down through the warm layers. The browned butter icing also has a bit of Kahlua in it.

Although the flavor of Kahlua is prominent in these Kahlua Brownies, they are apparently kid-friendly… my little one loved them as much as we did. Am I a horrible mother for allowing my child to eat Kahlua brownies? Maybe that’s why he gets so sleepy when he eats them… (kidding, of course!) Next thing you know, he’ll be asking for Kahlua in his hot chocolate ????.  Kidding again.  I LOVE Kahlua in my hot chocolate!

These are such great fudgy brownies, and if you’re a fan of Kahlua… I think you’re going to love them.

Additional notes on Kahlua Brownies:

These are a FUDGY sort of brownie (the best kind)… not a cakey brownie to be found in this bunch. They’re an EASY homemade brownie to make.  Just mix and bake, and ice when cool. They’re addicting, so consider yourself warned!
