How to Make Kahlua Brownie Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups granulated sugar, 4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup Kahlua.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  9. **Frosting:**
  10. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules and 2 tablespoons Kahlua until the coffee is dissolved.
  11. In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 3 cups powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  12. Add the coffee mixture and beat until well combined.
  13. Gradually add 2-4 tablespoons milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired frosting consistency.
  14. Spread frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
  15. Cut into bars and enjoy!
