Mocha Brownies Recipe

Prep: 25 min. Bake: 50 min. + cooling

Yield: 36 Servings

25 50 75

Ingredients

1 package fudge brownie mix (13-inch x 9-inch pan size)
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup canola oil
1 egg
2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
FILLING:
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
ICING:
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon instant coffee granules
1 to 2 teaspoons milk

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Spread into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean (do not overbake).
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, coffee and vanilla until well blended. Stir in walnuts and chocolate chips. Spread over brownies. Bake at 350° for 17 minutes or until set. Cool on a wire rack.
For icing, in a small saucepan melt the chocolate chips and butter over low heat until chips are melted, stirring constantly. Whisk in coffee and enough milk to reach a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm brownies. Cool before cutting. Yield: 3 dozen.

Substitute for Nuts

If your family loves the crunch of nuts in brownies and chocolate chip cookies, but someone is allergic to them, add granola or crisp rice cereal in the same amounts as the nuts called for in your recipes. But, always check the granola or cereal packages for nut allergy alerts to be certain.
