Chocolate & Mocha Brownies

Our readers Love Chocolate! That fact was proven hands down with the number of calls and e-mails we received in response to our Kahlua Cake. In order to satisfy your need for chocolaty treats we are happy to share another decadent cocoa filled creation we recently whipped up in the Clifton Insider Test Kitchen.

4 Squares unsweetened or bitter sweet (bakers)
baking chocolate
Three quarter cup (one and one half sticks) butter or margarine
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 cup vanilla
1 cup flour
one quarter cup brewed coffee (cooled of course)
6 squares (Bakers) semi-sweet baking chocolate, melted

Preheat: oven to 350 degrees if using a 13x9 inch baking pan (or to 325 F if using a glass baking dish). Line pan with foil. Grease foil with butter or Pam. Warm unsweetened chocolate and butter in double broiler pot until melted; stir until chocolate is completely melted. Stir in sugar, add eggs and vanilla, mix well. Add flour and coffee, stir until well blended. Spread into prepared pan.

BAKE: 30 to 35 min. or until toothpick inserted in center comes out with fudgy crumbs (when toothpick is inserted it should have some crumbs attached). (do not overbake) Cool in pan.

Cut brownies into shapes using your favorite one and one half inch cookie cutter. (Save the scraps for snacking.) Or just cut the brownies into squares. Dip the top of each brownie into melted semi-sweet chocolate. Refrigerate until chocolate is set.

What ever you choose, this is a wonderful decadent treat perfect for those die hard chocolate lovers. :)
