Kalhua and courgette brownie bars

I was having a look at Shaheen's excellent food blog http://allotment2kitchen.blogspot.co.uk the other day and spotted this recipe from 2010 that she's highlighted on her homepage -  http://allotment2kitchen.blogspot.co.uk/2010/07/kahlua-courgette-brownie-bars.html, I just happened to have all the ingredients including an old bottle of Kalhua that had been knocking around for years so decided to give it a go last night....yum!

Kalhua and courgette brownie bars

I haven't got a tray bake tray so did it in a glass oblong dish instead which worked out fine. One slice wasn't enough as a taster and we munched our way through a couple each. Still lots left for the weekend though, phew.

I forgot to give it a Kalhua wash before baking but still turned out quite shiny. Also I don't normally have much caffeine (except for in choc) so probably best not to give it too much Kalhua for me. I did experiment with a bit of a mixture of sugar as we had some odds and ends of packets left, so the sugar was mainly soft light brown, with a bit of muscavado and white granulated and I made sure it was all mixed in as evenly as possible.

So I was quite pleased as don't do much baking usually :)

    Thanks Shaheen that's really kind of you. Sorry your comment disappeared.
    Thanks for the tip, it would be nice to have some more followers ( can't imagine I'll ever have any where near as many as yours but over 10 would be good ;) ) I'll take a look tomorrow, have had jam woes this evening, groan, and only just finished potting up. Take care, Lou

      Don't worry so much about followers, its 'readers' you want. Since my blog break, I don't have so many people reading (or evening following now), so much has happened in the last 2 years in blog world that i am so behind, I am just now trying to enjoy it for myself - its one of the reasons I have set up Eat Your Greens Challenge and Vegetable Palette, please join in if you can.Kind wishes

    That's really good advice, thanks again Shaheen. Yes I'll hopefully get abit more involved with other blogs now. Jan has just today made a few changes to our blog and downloaded a better app (blogger for iPad was very limited) to make it easier for me to post things too. Will be in touch....
