    Starbucks Chocolate Fudge Squares with M


    Source of Recipe


    Starbucks

    Recipe Introduction


    Beating by hand ensures a rich, creamy texture for these confections.
    Starbucks suggests Christmas Blend, but virtually any single origin or blend of coffee complements their intense chocolate flavor.

    List of Ingredients




    Makes 16 squares
    For the squares:
    1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
    1 cup granulated sugar
    1 extra-large egg
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1/4 teaspoon baking powder
    2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
    1/2 cup milk
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/2 cup chopped walnuts
    For the glaze:
    1 generous cup confectioners' sugar
    1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
    1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, melted
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/4 cup Starbucks Christmas Blend or other dark roast coffee brewed double-strength

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 350F. Butter an 8-inch-square baking pan. To make the squares, in a large bowl, cream the butter with the sugar and egg. In a small bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Add to the butter mixture. Then add the melted chocolate, being careful not to overbeat. Add the milk, vanilla and walnuts, stirring just to blend. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the edges begin to pull away from the sides of the pan and the top springs back when pressed lightly, about 30 minutes. Allow the cake to cool completely. Meanwhile, to make the glaze, in a medium bowl, combine the sugar, butter, chocolate and vanilla. Stir in the coffee and whisk until smooth. Refrigerate the glaze until cool, then pour over the top of the cake and cut the cake into squares. *Adapted from Starbucks Passion for Coffee, p.70. 1994 Starbucks Coffee Company.
