⅔ cup butter
4 teaspoons hot water
2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
3 egg yolks
3 egg
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
3 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, chopped
⅓ cup sour milk
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon rum
1 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch square pan.
In a double boiler, or in the microwave, melt 5 squares of unsweetened chocolate with 2/3 cup butter. Combine hot water and instant coffee, stir into the melted chocolate. Set aside to cool.
In a medium bowl, beat in eggs, egg yolks, and 1 cup sugar until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Sift together flour, baking powder, and cocoa; mix into the egg mixture. Next, mix in the cooled chocolate mixture. Stir in 1/2 cup walnuts. Spread the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool completely before frosting.
To make the frosting, melt the remaining 3 squares of unsweetened chocolate in a double boiler. Stir in sour milk, and 1 tablespoon sugar; stir until smooth. Remove from heat, and stir in the rum. Spread over the cooled brownies, and sprinkle with remaining walnuts. Allow the frosting to set before cutting into bars.
