CHOCOLATE GLAZED MOCHA WEDGES

Category: Bars

Bar:
2/3 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 (1 oz) squares semi-sweet baking chocolate, melted
1 tsp instant espresso powder or instant coffee granules
1 1/4 cups flour

Drizzle:
3 (1 oz) squares semi-sweet baking chocolate
1 tsp shortening

Heat oven to 350. Combine butter and brown sugar in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add 2 oz melted chocolate and espresso powder; continue beating until well mixed. Reduce speed to low; add flour. Beat until well mixed. Pat mixture evenly into ungreased 9 inch tart pan with removable bottom. Bake for 23 to 25 minutes or until set. Cool 10 minutes. Remove sides of tart pan. Cool completely. Cut into wedges.

Melt 3 oz chocolate and shortening in 1-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth (2 to 4 minutes). Drizzle over cooled wedges. Let stand 10 minutes to set.

TIP: Substitute an 8 or 9 inch square baking pan for the 9 inch tart pan. Line pan with aluminum foil, extending foil over edges. Bake for 23 to 25 minutes or until set. Cool 10 minutes. Lift bars out of pan using foil. Cut into bars; drizzle with glaze as directed.
