Mocha Walnut Brownies

By: Jill Bonanno 
"These rich cake-like brownies are generously topped with a scrumptious mocha frosting. They're an excellent dessert to serve to company...or to share when you need a dish to pass. Be sure to hold back a few if you want leftovers! --Jill Bonanno Prineville, Oregon"
