SPRING BREAK!! Brownies...

Whether you are ending or starting spring break, these are a tasty treat.

My friend Kayla and I were rained in yesterday thanks to the horrible weather we have for spring break. But we decided it was time for some experimental cooking. You don't need to put too much effort into these brownies because like we did, you can use a box or bag mix. When you are on vacation, thing are supposed to be simple and uncomplicated. =]

You do however have to like kahlua in order to enjoy these. They do need extra time to cook, we added 5 minutes to the box time, but they come out super fudge-y and are well worth it.

So now I present you with:

Cate and Kayla's SPRING BREAK brownies.
WOOOHH!

You will need:
  • 1 box mix (we used a triple chocolate one with chocolate chips, but you could always add 1/4 cup chocolate chips to any mix)
  • eggs
  • vegetable oil
  • water
  • cooking spray
  • 2 table spoons flour
  • 1/2 cup Kahlua mocha liqueur
Instructions:
  • Gather your materials. Make sure you have legally acquired your Kahlua!
  • Preheat the oven to 350degrees!
  • Mix box mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water as instructed by your mix of choice
  • Add Kahlua and mix. You will notice the batter has become somewhat watery; add 2 table spoons of flour to thicken it up.
  • Coat your favorite brownies pan with cooking spray. I like to use a 13x9 glass pan.
  • Bake as your mix requires for the size pan you have used, you will likely need to add an extra 5 minutes. For mine, I baked for 30 minutes. If you are unsure, stick a toothpick or fork in the middle of your brownies; if it comes out clean, they are done.
  • Remove from oven when done and allow to cool for 5 minutes if you can wait that long.
  • Enjoy the gooey fudge-y-ness!

The best thing about this is that you can substitute! Try experimenting with different types of Kahlua. Or for St. Patty's day on Wednesday, try making these with one of the many delicious flavors of Bailey's.

Happy baking, spring break, and St. Patty's day!
