Lately I have been obsessed with brownies. I made the recipe I posted recently over and over. I tried different nuts (peanuts, walnuts) and different liqueurs. I also made them with a decreased amount of alcohol and instant coffee powder one time and I have to say they are very versatile! This is a version made with walnuts and instant coffee powder.
