I created these brownies by combining my favorite beverage and chocolate together for a cooking contest. I was so pleased with the results, I knew the recipe was a keeper.

We loved the filling, but the brownie was more like cake. I will make the filling again, but use a different brownie recipe. Thanks for sharing!

Most brownie recipes say to mix just until dry ingredients are moistened, so I did that, but the brownie was more dry and "cakey" than I like for a brownie. Maybe someone else could do it better.
