    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 350º. Grease a 9-inch square pan.

    Bottom Layer:
    Melt butter and chocolate chips in a heavy pan over low heat, or microwave on medium low. Microwave 1 minute and stir. Then, 1 more minute and stir. Then, every 30 seconds until melted. Cool slightly. Beat eggs and brown sugar with electric mixer until well blended and smooth, about 1 minute. Dissolve coffee crystals in hot water before combining with egg mixture. Add melted chocolate chips and mix well.Stir baking powder and flour together before adding. Spread evenly in a greased 9-inch square baking pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until bars test done. Cool.

    Filling:
    Melt chocolate chips and cool. Beat cream cheese until fluffy and add confectioners' sugar, jam and flavoring. Stir in melted chocolate and spread over the cooled bars.

    Topping:
    Melt shortening and chocolate chips together and drizzle over the filling. To drizzle, put melted mixture in a small plastic bag. Snip a tiny bit off of one corner and squeeze out chocolate to drizzle.

    Refrigerate before cutting. Store in the refrigerator.
