"Very rich and decadent! I didn't put the butter in the frosting, just the p. sugar, kahlua and milk. I also added a little cocoa powder to the frosting. Very good."

"A rich and flavorful brownie. The combination of a crunchy crust, brownie and icing makes a nice contrast of textures to go with the great taste. I added a handful of chocolate chips with great success. Thanks for sharing!"
