• 0.5 cup Brown sugar

• 0.25 cup Kahlua liqueur

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan, then line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave in 30-second intervals until fully melted. Allow it to cool slightly.

3. Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and 1/4 cup of Kahlua liqueur until fully combined.

5. Sift together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until no streaks of flour remain.

6. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, then pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid over-baking to keep the brownies fudgy.

8. While the brownies cool in the pan, prepare the glaze. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate, heavy cream, and 1 tablespoon of Kahlua liqueur. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and mixture is smooth.

9. Spread the glaze evenly over the cooled brownies. Let the glaze set at room temperature, or place the pan in the refrigerator for faster setting.

10. Once the glaze has set, carefully lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into even bars and dust lightly with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.

11. Serve Chocolate Kahlua Brownie Bars at room temperature and enjoy!
