Soomie's Kahlua Brownies

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!*
