 ****QUICK FUDGE FROSTING ***

Melt 2 squares (1 oz. each) unsweetened chocolate and 1 square semi-sweet chocolate with 2 Tbs. butter over low heat. Heat 3 Tbs. Kahlua and 2 Tbs. heavy cream together. Combine chocolate and Kahlua mixtures with 2 cups powdered sugar (free from lumps). Beat until well blended and thick. If necessary, beat in a little extra powdered sugar for good spreading consistency.

Frost brownies immediately as mixture stiffens upon setting.
