Mocha Graham Brownies

Mocha Graham Brownies
1 can (11 ounces/300mL) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 Tablespoon instant coffee granules
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups honey graham cracker crumbs

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease or line an 8x8 inch square pan.
In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except crumbs. Add crumbs and mix well. Spread in prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out moist, but not wet with crumbs. 

These are not really brownies in the traditional sense, but a shortcut to really tasty squares with a taste combo of chocolate, caramel, and coffee. They have got to be one of the quickest square recipes I have ever made, and as their caption says, "Start now, and you'll be enjoying your second square in less than an hour." These squares are quite decadent and chocolaty, and especially good warm from the oven. They cut well, travel well, and store well - as long as they don't get eaten!
