Kahlua Espresso Brownies

Submitted by Pam in the Kitchen

"This recipe is from Kahlua. A fantastic, fudgy brownie with a little something extra. For an extra chocolatey experience add some mini chocolate chips and/or if you're feeling nutty, some chopped walnuts are in order. Extra boozy hint: Soak 1 cup of chopped walnuts in about 1/4 cup kahlua or whiskey or whatever for a few hours or overnight and stir in before spreading the batter in the pan."
