Soomie's Kahlua Brownies

Ms. Baker's Note:

My godmother made these brownies for my brother and I when we were growing up. All I remember is that they were my favorite and I couldn't get enough of them. Believe me, I tried! I am still a huge Kahlua fan and these brownies are , by far, one of my favorite ways to enjoy it. *A batch of these also make a GREAT gift during the holiday season!*

These brownies were quite good. I actually substituted Chocolate liqueur because I didn't have any Kahlua. If I were to make these again the future I think I would skip the step where I brushed the top of the brownies with the liquor because I prefer a less strong liquor taste. Made for Fall 2009 PAC.
