Mocha Brownies

What you’ll need:

4 squares Baker’s Unsweetened Chocolate
1 ¼ cups butter, divided
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup flour
¾ cup Maxwell House Café Suisse Mocha instant coffee mix, divided
1 cup pecans chopped

Frosting
3 tbsp hot milk
4 cups icing sugar

What do I do next?

Line 13×9 inch baking pan with greased foil.  Microwave chocolate and ¾ cup butter in large microwave bowl on medium for 2 minutes or until melted.  Stir until chocolate is completely melted.  Stir in sugar until well blended.  Mix in eggs and vanilla, stir in flour, ½ cup coffee mix and pecans and spread into prepared pan.

Bake at 350 for 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centre comes out with fudgie crumbs.  Do not over bake.  Cool completely in pan and then cut into squares.

Frosting**

Dissolve remaining coffee mix in hot milk; beat in remaining butter until creamy.  Gradually add icing sugar, beat on low speed until well blended.  Let stand until frosting is spreading consistency, and then ice brownies.

Tips

If using a glass pan reduce to 325.  Sift icing sugar before measuring.

**NOTE: Jerilyn has asked me to let you all know that the frosting is very sweet and she usually does not make it with the brownies.
