Kahlua Brownies

Our oven has been working non-stop since I launched the Bananas for Boobies: Bake it Happen campaign to raise money and awareness for Breast Cancer research.

Don’t forget to go to the website: www.bananasforboobies.com to get Judy’s secret recipe for Banana Chocolate Chip Loaf.  All you have to do is:

1. BAKE it and then simply
2. SHARE it with the people in your life.
3. TAKE A PICTURE of your loaf and send it in and money will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation of American AND, you’re entered to win an IPAD!!!  We’ve already received scores of loaf pictures from all over the US!

Keep the loaves and pictures coming.

For my family, it’s been amazing to hear people’s personal stories related to Breast Cancer as we deliver our loaves and, it’s been even better to see the smile on their faces at the receipt of such a kind, tasty treat.

With bananas on the brain, I bet you’re thinking, how much can one person bake in a week?

And, who needs another brownie recipe, right?  But, while we’re baking some of our favorite recipes of my mom. we can’t neglect her recipe for Kahlua Brownies.

It’s so easy to make and takes less than 20 minutes to assemble.

We love using any Duncan Hines Chocolate Brownie mix as our base.

And, why not get a little creative and bake some of these brownies with a little “kick” to them?  It makes perfect sense.  I’ve been to many restaurants where I eat my dessert with a side of Bailey’s.  Why not combine them?

But, beware, these brownies are deadly.  Their consistency is more moist than any other brownie I’ve ever eaten (and that’s a lot).  In fact, they’re so moist, they teeter on seeming a bit “greasy,” which is more fitting for a side of fries than a baked chocolate dessert.  Put them in your hand and they’ll sweat.  If you place them on top of each other to serve to guests, they blend together.  If there are any leftovers,  it’s best to refrigerate them.  They’re not dense or chewy or hard.  Put one in your mouth and I guarantee you’ll eat another one and another one and another one.

While Mom’s recipe calls for Kahlua, you can substitute it with any other coffee or chocolate, or cream-based liqueur you have on hand.  I used Bailey’s the first time and TGIF’s pre-made Mudslide mix the second time around.  Both equally tasty.

Warning: you might just get a belly ache these are so good.

And, don’t worry, you can serve these to minors. There’s not much alcohol.

Enjoy!
