alisonpeach's Note:

Super rich chocolaty brownies! They are extremely fudge-y and also happen to be on the lighter side - so indulge and don't feel guilty! - this came from a Southern Living cook book

I'm kind of disappointed. Cause we don't find that they taste the Kahlua. So I think coffee would have been great instead of Kahlua. And 30 minutes was too much. They're a bit dry. They taste more the chocolate and cinnamon. Another time I'll omit the cinnamon and use coffee and reduce the cooking them. Thanks Alison. Made for I recommend tag game

Delicious! Mine looked nothing like flower's-they were thin and very fudgy. They reminded me somewhat of Little Debbies...in texture only!, LOL. I was able to have one before my youngest son scooped them up to take home. TFS
