And I need to be properly attired, right?
I tell you this because it was my turn to make dessert for our little rendezvous last
week and as I was trying to decide on a tasty treat, I see a recipe from
kraftrecipes.com for these little morsels:
Latte brownies.....perfect! It doesn’t get much better than chocolate, coffee, butter and almonds.
I'm delighted that my photo (above left) looks just as inviting as the Kraft photo. I gussied mine up with coffee beans. Their version looks a little cakier than mine though...I'll investigare why.

Ingredients
6 squares BAKER'S
Unsweetened Chocolate¾ cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter or margarine
¼ cup water
1 Tbsp. instant coffee
1cup granulated sugar
1cup firmly packed brown sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1-1/4 cups flour
½ cup finely chopped PLANTERS Slivered Almonds
¼ tsp. ground cinnamon
¼ tsp. salt
1Tbsp. powdered sugar
Directions
PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Line 9-inch square baking pan with
foil, with ends of foil extending over sides of pan. Grease foil; set aside. Note: I didn't do this...I just sprayed the pan with PAM.
MICROWAVE chocolate, butter, water and coffee granules in
large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min. or until butter is melted. Stir until
chocolate is completely melted. Beat in granulated and brown sugars with
electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add eggs and vanilla; beat 2
min. Add flour, almonds, cinnamon and salt; beat until well blended. Spread
into prepared pan.
BAKE 35 to 40 min. or until toothpick inserted in center comes out with fudgy crumbs. (Do not overbake.) Cool in pan on wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Lift brownies from pan onto cutting board, using foil handles. Again, I just cut the brownies right in the pan. Cut into 20 brownies to serve.
Warning Will Robinson: These brownies are amazing…so rich and moist
with a hint of coffee in each bite. I
served each with scoop of mocha gelato….not that we needed more calories. I like Kraft recipes because they include the
nutrition content with each and they report that a 1x2” latte brownie is about 240
calories with 13g of fat. But, no worries, dark chocolate and almonds are both good fats!
