4 oz Unsweetened chocolate
1 c Butter

1 1/2 c Sugar
1 1/2 t Vanilla
1/3 c Kahlua
1 1/2 c Sifted flour
1/2 t Salt
1/4 t Baking powder
1 c Chopped walnuts (toasted)
Line bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with cooking parchment. Melt
chocolate and butter with pepper over low heat. Beat eggs with sugar and
vanilla until blended. Stir in cooled chocolate mixture, then kahlua.
Resift flour, salt and baking powder into mixture and stir until blended.
Add nuts. Turn into pan. Bake in 350 degree oven just until pick

overbake). Cook, then spread top with QUICK FUDGE FROSTING. Sprinke with
additional nuts, if desired. Cut into squares or bars.
*******************QUICK FUDGE FROSTING ***********************
Melt 2 squares (1 oz each) unsweetened chocolate and 1 aquare semi-sweet
chocolate with 2 tablespoons butter over low heat. Heat 3 tablespoons
kahlua and 2 tablespoons heavy cream together. Combine chocolate and
kahlua mixtures with 2 cups powdered sugar (free from lumps). Beat until
well blended and thick. If necessary, beat in a little extra powdered
sugar for good spreading consistency. Frost brownies immediately as
mixture stiffens upon setting.
