Mmmmm. Brownies. Oh how I love delicious chocolatey, gooey brownies. Is there a better dessert especially when they are Kahlua brownies?

I might be biased. Kahlua is one of those throwback things for me. It takes me back to the summer I turned 21. I was taking summer college classes because I had changed my major approximately 35 times and had a part in a community theater production.

After rehearsals or night classes, depending on what day of the week it was, my husband and I often stopped somewhere for late night half priced appetizers and drinks. Because I was 21 and the ability to order a drink was really novel to me. While my drinks were often fruity, pink drinks complete with umbrella, my husband always ordered something with Kahlua. Normally a mudslide or some sort of chocolate coffee drink.

I always stole lots of his drink. Because Kahlua is delicious and tastes so good with chocolate. So it’s no surprise that Kahlua brownies are so stinking good. I mean like over the top good and not just because it tastes like sweet nostalgia to me.

It’s the icing. I mean anytime you put icing on brownies, you win at life. But when you put Kahlua icing on brownies well, you are more than winning at life. What is more than winning at life anyway? Crushing life? Being queen of the world?

Plus these brownies are so easy to make. I used to make scratch baked goods all the time, back in the days pre kid, when I thought being busy was basically a college class and being in a play. But these days, I’m all about shortcuts to delicious desserts like my shortcut Bailey’s cake and these shortcut boozy Kahlua brownies. I basically took a box of brownie mix and made it taste homemade. I subbed butter for oil for extra fudgy richness, added a bit of coffee and of course Kahlua, and dumped in extra chocolate chips because really you can’t go wrong with extra chocolate, am I right? Then the whole kitten caboodle got topped with this amazingly rich, boozy icing.

It’s the stuff of dreams, I tell you.

Even better? I got the Kahlua from Drizly.com. You can order the Kahlua from Drizly here. This website is amazing. You can order up a huge variety of wine, beer, spirits, and extras all delivered right to your door. For real. It’s like every mom’s dream.

For real. I’m super lucky. One of my best friends and I were pregnant together with our daughters and due about 2 weeks apart. We hang out a ton and vent about the stunts the kids pull and the incessant whining that comes with raising a 2 and a half year old. Seriously, it is nonstop. I can always tell how her day is going by the hour she texts me in the morning. Today, I got my first mayday text at 7:30 am. It is never a good thing to get a mayday text from another mommy before 9.

As we continued chatting and she filled me on the whining and tantrums she’s dealing with this morning and we planned our afternoon, she said something I think all moms with little kids have said at one time or another, ” I would kill for a booze delivery service.” Well, Drizly has it covered.

Thank you! I used an 18 ounce box- but any that are approximately that size (Betty Crocker has mix that is 17.4 ounces) will work.
