Lost in shooting pool last night lol and need a brownie recipe that uses walnuts and has an icing on it, but want something that makes the mouth melt.... any ideas?? Thought about something even using coffee...I like to try new recipes and ingredients

Thanks in advance

i kinda like yer coffe idea

maybe use it instead of water

but hey what do i know

Ingredients
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, toasted
1/2 cup almond liqueur
1 cup butter
8 (1-ounce) unsweetened chocolate squares
5 large eggs
3 1/3 cups sugar
1/4 cup Swiss mocha instant coffee mix
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt


Preparation
Soak chopped walnuts in liqueur 4 to 6 hours. Drain, discarding liqueur. Set walnuts aside.
Melt butter and chocolate in a heavy saucepan over low heat.

Beat eggs, sugar, and coffee mix at medium-high speed with an electric mixer 8 minutes. Gradually add chocolate mixture, beating at low speed until blended. Gradually add vanilla, flour, and salt, beating until blended. Stir in walnuts. Pour into a lightly greased aluminum foil-lined 13- x 9-inch pan.

Bake at 350° for 35 to 45 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into squares.

Note: For testing purposes only, we used International Coffees Suisse Mocha for coffee mix.




Homemade Icing:

2 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons milk


Mix the powdered sugar with the vanilla and milk. Then add more milk a bit at a time until it is thin enough to drizzle over a cake. Once you've iced your cake, it's best to let it stand for one or two hours.


To make chocolate icing, add two tablespoons cocoa powder when you mix the powdered sugar and follow the rest of the recipe above.

you can use regular walnuts and skip the liqueur... also 1 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips work just as well



hope this helps hon

When you said special brownies, I really thought you meant "special" brownies

I wish I had one for you, I'd like a good one as well.

me me me weres mine


pass

Me after pass

pass


hey qwe better get busy on them brownies mmaaaannnnnnnnnmmmmm

Hmmm, it's been a while (a very long while), I wouldn't even know where to get the "special" ingredient. Scarily enough, my 12 year old could probably give me some pointers!

i can relate to that remark

but mine are grown

and ones a cop

maybe some could be confiscated


but i doubt it

>When you said special brownies, I really thought you meant "special" brownies

LOL No No....not "special special" LOL

I like to make things for my friends that in the first bite it is an ~experience~ for the taste buds... not the brain cells, at least not at first LOL

Has anyone ever made brownies with cayenne pepper???

Sassy your recipe sounds really yummy(Thanks)!

I've never tried it but I understand it's an excellent combination!

actually --back in the day-- i have had some really

good brownies

they taste good and take a while to really appreciate their effect

so do not eat them to fast


hehehehe

you are very welcome... if you want more recipes, i would suggest googling it

I thought you meant that kind of "special" brownies as well...

but although I don't have the exact recipe I have had brownies that had zucchini in them that were so good- i know if sounds weird but they were great. Heres a similar recipe:

NGREDIENTS
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded zucchini
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup margarine
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, mix together the oil, sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla until well blended. Combine the flour, 1/2 cup cocoa, baking soda and salt; stir into the sugar mixture. Fold in the zucchini and walnuts. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until brownies spring back when gently touched. To make the frosting, melt together the 6 tablespoons of cocoa and margarine; set aside to cool. In a medium bowl, blend together the confectioners' sugar, milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Stir in the cocoa mixture. Spread over cooled brownies before cutting into squares.

Of course if you really wanted them "special" you could probably substitute another green plant for some of the zucchini- in that case you might want to add some applesauce for moisture though... purely theorhetical knowledge!...

Now that you mention it, I've had zucchini brownies as well, pretty good. Very moist.

I have tried the zucchini variation before and they are good. Have added applesauce before too, in fact the cinnamon flavored applesauce has a slight kick in the taste buds over the regular kind...
