    1 1/4 cups chocolate chips
    1/2 cup butter or margarine
    3/4 cup brown sugar
    2 large eggs
    1 teaspoon instant coffee, dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
    3/4 cup flour
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder

    1/4 cup powdered sugar

    Glaze:

    Recipe



    Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan.

    Brownie Layer: Melt chocolate chips with butter. Cool slightly. Beat brown sugar and eggs in a large bowl with electric mixer. Add chocolate mixture and dissolved coffee. Mix well. Stir in flour and baking powder. Spread evenly in prepared pan. Bake 30-35 minutes but keep an eye on it so it doesn't overbake. Cool on wire rack.

    Truffle Filling: Melt chocolate chips with instant coffee. Beat cream cheese and preserves in small bowl until smooth. On low speed, beat in chocolate mixture and powdered sugar. Beat until fluffy. Spread over brownies.

    Glaze: Melt chocolate chips with shortening. Drizzle over filling.

    Chill 2 hours and serve chilled.


    These freeze well and don't take long to thaw.
