Fudgy Mocha Brownies

I found this recipe on a can of Meadow Gold Sweetened Condensed Milk and thought they sounded nice and easy. These brownies have a white crust layer topped with a seriously chocolatey-sounding brownie layer. I haven't tried these yet, so times are estimated. Let me know if they're any good if you get to them before I do! *NOTE: per the recipe, you can substitute 1 tsp instant coffee dissolved in 1 Tbsp hot water for the coffee liqueur.
