  • 1
    In top of double boiler, over hot, not simmering water, stir together butter, chocolate and instant coffee until mixture is blended. Beat eggs with sugar and vanilla until mixture is creamy, about 5 minutes. Beat in chocolate mixture until blended. Stir in flour, salt and walnuts until blended. Spread in greased 9 x 13 inch baking pan and bake at 400 for 22 minutes or until a cake tester, inserted in center comes out clean and top looks dry. Allow to cool in pan. When cool, spread top with chocolate Buttercream, which is optional. Makes 48 brownies Chocolate Buttercream: 2/3 cup melted semisweet chocolate chips 1/3 cup melted butter 1 t. vanilla Pinch salt Stir together all ingredients until blended. Note: Do not overbake or brownies will by dry. On the other hand, do not underbake, or brownies will be pasty. Chocolate chips, dates, raisins or even grated white chocolate can be added. The brownie base is truly delicious. Notice the large amount of vanilla. Source: Renny Darling
