Instructions: Sift together: flour, baking powder, salt. Set aside. In a saucepan, melt: honey, coffee, butter, choc chips. Stir often. Add: 2 eggs, one at a time to saucepan. Mix well. Add: flour mixture to saucepan. Stir well. Add: walnuts, chopped to pan.

Pour brownie mixture into greased 8" x 8" pan, bottom lined w/greased wax paper. Bake in 325 oven for 25 min. Remove from oven.

Brush brownie top with: coffee, rum, or Kahlua (I used amaretto) Cool completely. Remove from pan. Set aside.

Make frosting: Cream softened butter w/mixer till light and fluffy.

Add, very gradually, confectioners sugar until smooth. Add flavoring for frosting: vanilla (I used amaretto to taste) If necessary, add a little milk to make frosting smoother and more spreadable. Spread over cooled brownie. Refrigerate till quite cold.

Make chocolate topping: Melt chocolate chips, butter, and vegetable shortening in double boiler. Mix well. Pour over the layer of frosting. Spread evenly.

Sprinkle almond slices over top, if desired. Cool. Cut into small squares. (its helpful to cut into pieces or at least score chocolate layer
*before* the chocolate is completely hardened.)
