  1. Very rich and decadent! I didn't put the butter in the frosting, just the p. sugar, kahlua and milk. I also added a little cocoa powder to the frosting. Very good.
     
  2. A rich and flavorful brownie. The combination of a crunchy crust, brownie and icing makes a nice contrast of textures to go with the great taste. I added a handful of chocolate chips with great success. Thanks for sharing!
     
  3. These are great! I followed the instructions exactly and it did take the full 25 minutes in my oven. Awesome brownies!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>Hello, My name is Monica and I am a 35 year old, happily married mom of 2. After working as a project manager for many years, I currently am a stay-at-home mom to our beautiful daughter Hannah who is 10 years old,&amp; our sweet son Liam who is 6. I love being home with them! I am a Navy wife of 19 years. It is an adventurous, fun, sometimes stressful life but we are proud to be a Navy family in service of our country. <br />Cooking is one of my passions. I could sit down and read recipes like I would a regular novel. I would say I am more of a recipe gatherer rather than a recipe orginator. I do tweak things a lot to suit my families taste, but other than that I rely on recipes for ideas and technique. I find most of my own recipes have been posted in some form or another here, but I look forward to having more to add in the future. <br />I am an avid baker and also love international foods. Being half Thai, I love Thai food and have gotten my family to learn to appreciate it as well.</p>
