These Super Kahlua Bars are a must for Kahlua lovers! Chocolate and custard with a hint of Kahlua flavor. Absolutely Delicious!
OMG! The first time I had these Super Kahlua Bars at a friends house I just had to try and make them at home. Thank God my mother-in-law had a recipe that I used as a starting point. Here is the end result!
These Kahlua bars have a delicious chocolate graham cracker base with a Kahlua flavored filling topped with chocolate. These bars are very similar to my Canadian Nanaimo Bars but without the booze.
Please take into consideration that some of the alcohol in this recipe may not completely burn off and the remains could be of significant concern to recovering alcoholics, parents, and others who have ethical or religious reasons for avoiding alcohol.
