Brownies

Submitted by MsPia

"Flouring the chips and walnuts keeps them from sinking to the bottom. It is very important to allow the batter to cool well before adding the chocolate chips, or the chips will melt and ruin the batter. This recipe can be baked up to a week in advance, wrapped in plastic, and refrigerated."

Fantastic!!!! A bit labor intensive, but well worth the x-tra it takes to make these. Love the addition of the coffee flavor. Although not a coffee lover myself, the chocolate/coffee combo works well together. Also, loved the addition of all those walnuts!!!1<br/>Made for PRMR.
