FILLING

GLAZE

In a heavy saucepan, melt butter and chocolate chips over low heat.

Cool slighty. In a large bowl, beat eggs and brown sugar. Dissolve coffee crystals in water; add to egg mixture with melted chocolate.

Mix well. Combine baking powder and flour; stir into chocolate mixture. Spread in a greased 9-in. square baking pan. Bake at 350F for 30-35 minutes or until brownies test done. Cool. For filling, melt chocolate chips; cool. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy; add confectioners' sugar and jam. Stir in melted chocolate; spread over cooled brownies. For glaze, melt chocolate chips and shortening. Drizzle over the filling. Chill before cutting. Store in the refrigerator. (Note: says it will yield about 5 dozen but not for my family!)
