These Kahlua Brownies are rich, soft and very chocolatey (that’s totally a word right?!) so you only need one (ok, maybe two) to satisfy any chocolate cravings. They make a great dessert or treat at your next party, or you could just make a batch to hide in the pantry to enjoy once the kids are in bed – there is no judgement here!!
