1
To make the brownies:
2
Melt together the butter and baking chocolate in a double boiler or microwavable bowl, stirring frequently.
3
Pour into mixing bowl and let cool while you are collecting all your other ingredients.
4
To the chocolate mixture, add the eggs and beat well.
5
Then add the vanilla, kahlua and coffee crystals and mix well.
6
Beat in the sugar, flour, salt and baking powder until well mixed.
7
Scrape into a buttered 9x13 baking dish.
8
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes; do not overbake or the brownies will be dry.
9
Let cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
10
For frosting:
11
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.
12
To slightly cooled chocolate, stir in vanilla, kahlua, and coffee crystals.
13
In a mixing bowl, beat butter until creamy.
14
Alternately add sugar and chocolate mixture , beating until smooth.
15
Add salt to taste (the saltiness should just bring out the sweetness, not overpower it).
16
Spread over cooled brownies.
