How to Make Mudslide Brownies
- Melt 4 chocolate baking squares and 1/2 cup butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat, and transfer to a large bowl.
Add sugars; stir well. Stir in eggs, 2 teaspoon espresso powder, and 2 teaspoon Kahlua.
Add flour and salt, stirring until blended. Stir in pecans.
Spread batter into a lightly greased aluminum foil-lined 11" x 7" pan. Bake at 325° for 26 to 28 minutes or until brownies appear set on top.
Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
Melt remaining 2 chocolate baking squares and 2 Tbsp. butter in heavy saucepan, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat; transfer to a medium bowl.
Stir in remaining 2 tsp. espresso powder, whipping cream, vodka, and remaining 2 Tbsp. Kahlua.
Add enough powdered sugar to make a good spreading consistency, beating at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth.
Spread frosting over cooled brownies; garnish, if desired.
Let stand until frosting is set. - Use foil to lift uncut brownies out of the pan.
Cut into bars to serve.
Note: If you prefer not to add any alcohol to this dessert, you can use sweetened coffee instead of the Kahlua and omit the vodka.
