Mocha Brownies

Ingredients

• 1 box of brownie mix
• instant coffee granules
• confectioners' sugar
• butter or margarine
• vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.

2. Prepare a 13 by 9-inch cake pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying it with no-stick cooking spray, such as Pam.

3. Prepare the box of brownie mix following the directions on the package, but dissolve one tablespoon of instant coffee granules in the water.

4. Bake the brownies according to the directions on the box and allow to cool.

5. Dissolve one tablespoon of instant coffee granules in three tablespoons of warm water in a large mixing bowl.

6. Add 1/2 cup of softened butter or margarine, along with 2 1/3 cups of powdered sugar and one teaspoon of vanilla extract.

7. Beat the coffee water, butter or margarine, powdered sugar and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until the frosting is smooth.

8. Spread the coffee-flavored icing over the cooled chocolate brownies.

9. Cut into small squares to serve. These gourmet brownies are rich!

For even richer brownies, add 1/3 cup of semi-sweet-chocolate chips to the brownie batter before baking.
