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