Butterscotch Brownies

Ingredients

1 1/2 c butter
2 c brown sugar
3 eggs
2 ts vanilla
2 c flour
1/2 ts salt
1 1/2 ts baking powder
1 c walnuts
3 c sifted confectioners sugar
2 ts instant coffee
2 tablespoons water these chewy squares ooze brown sugary butterscotch

Instructions

Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out. This is easiest if you up-end the pan over waxed paper, then turn the cake right side up. Let it finish cooling on a rack. To make the frosting, cream 1/2 cup butter with confectioners sugar. Beat it until light, then beat in the coffee mixture. Spread over the brownies. When frosting has set, cut in squares. Yield: 3 dozen 2-inch or 6 dozen 1-inch squares.
