Butterscotch Brownies II

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, melted
• 2 cups packed light brown sugar
• 3 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 3 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar
• 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).

Melt 1 cup butter in a large saucepan. Add 2 cups light brown sugar and beat well to mix. Cool the mixture slightly, then beat in eggs and vanilla.

Sift together all-purpose flour, salt and baking powder. Stir it into the wet ingredients, then add the nuts. Mix well.

Spread batter in a greased 11 x 7 x 2-inch pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a light gold. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out of pan and let brownies finish cooling on a rack.

To Make Frosting: Disolve coffee in the water. Cream 1/2 cup butter with confectioner's sugar. Beat it until light. Beat into the sugar mixture. Spread over the brownies. When frosting has set, cut brownies into squares. Enjoy!
