Cappucino Frosted Brownies

We borrowed this great recipe from the blog, Lets Eat. To see pics of the kids baking up these goodies for a cooking camp session, click here.

Brownies:

• 4 squares unsweetened chocolate
• 3/4 cup butter
• 2 cups sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

~~Melt chocolate squares and butter in microwave at high for 1 minute 30 seconds. Stir until combined. Next, stir in sugar. Add in eggs, 1 at a time, stirring until blended after each addition. Gradually stir in flour, vanilla and chocolate chips. Pour batter into a lightly greased aluminum foil lined 13 x 9 inch baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Cool completely and frost.

Cappucino Buttercream Frosting

• 1 (1.16 oz.) package instant mocha cappucino mix (International Foods is what we used, and we could only find a 8 oz. tin of it and had to just "guesstimate" and scoop out what we felt like was a little over 1 oz. worth.)
• 1/4 cup warm milk
• 1 cup butter, softened (we actually only used 1/2 cup or 1 stick)
• 1 (16 oz.) box powdered sugar

~~Dissolve mix into warm milk. Beat butter and mixture, with an electric mixer, until well blended. Gradually add in powdered sugar. YUM-O!

****Just remember to pace yourselves with these, I suggest small bite size pieces....and start at breakfast. What? There's coffee in them, that's breakfast-y. :)
