~Kahlua Kiss Brownies!

I’m not sure what my favorite thing is about these Brownies…is it the drippy Caramel Kisses? …is it the Kahlua soaked, rich & thick Chocolate Brownie? I don’t know~all I DO know is that these Brownies have the power to take your willpower, smash it to pieces, and leave you all alone to feel the shame..haha!

Sticky, wet and dense Brownies are filled with sweet & sassy Kahlua~and then gently studded with an entire bag of Caramel filled Hershey’s Kisses. Whoever you share these with, you’d better make sure you like, because you’ll be seeing a lot of them! 🙂

What you’ll need:

1-1 lb. box of Brownie Mix

1-11 oz. bag of Caramel Hershey’s Kisses

Enough Kahlua to replace the water that’s called for in your box of Brownie mix. (Optional)

A square baking pan

Directions:

In a medium bowl combine the Brownie mix (according to the box instructions) with the Kahlua replacing the water (if you choose to use the Kahlua) …I choose booze! 😉

Mix it up~lick fingers~repeat…

Unwrap all of the Kisses…a labor of love for sure…

Pour half of the batter into a non-stick sprayed pan and place ALL of the Kisses evenly onto the batter…eat one, of course!

Now..pour the rest of the Brownie Batter over the Kisses and gently cover them up with batter…

Bake at 350 degrees for approx. 45 minutes or until it’s cooked all the way through..to your liking of course!

LET THEM COOL COMPLETELY…this helps the Caramel return to its normal gooey goodness.

NOW you may cut into them, find a quiet spot where no one will judge you and DIG IN! ~Enjoy! 🙂

Babe, the Kahlua is NOT optional!!!

I would think that either dark rum or bourbon would also work if you are not a fan of Kahlua.

These are to die for!!! Another good substitute for water in brownies is Bailey’s. I also make up a glaze with some powdered sugar and enough Bailey’s (or Kahlua) to get it to spreading consistency … probably not necessary with the caramels inside, though. YUM.

The only problem with these is I don’t think they will travel well since they look so amazingly ooey gooey. Assuming you want to share them at all… anyone have thoughts about trying this recipe in mini muffin cups with one kiss in each?

I made these this weekend and they were nothing like the photo. The caramels were firm (like a chocolate bar) rather than ooey and gooey. I noticed when I cut the brownies there was more batter on the top layer than the bottom layer. Was that my problem or does someone have another suggestion? We heated them in the microwave and they were really good. I would love to give it another try because I just know they would be incredible if the caramels were soft and drippy.

It looks like the brownie mix calls for 2 eggs, but I did this was not mentioned in the directions. Do you use the eggs or not? Thanks!

  As stated, use whatever YOUR box tells you to use to make the batter~ Simply replace the water with the Kahlua. …hope that helps! 🙂
