I delicious fudgy brownie is something most of us can really appreciate, and these Espresso Brownies with an additional shot of flavor makes them even more special. These chewy, tender and super chocolaty squares with a hint of freshly brewed espresso is a dessert that you will certainly adore.
Hot espresso stirred into an already amazingly fudgy batter turns up the flavor and creates a baked good that makes life that much better. The ingredients are simple, the taste divine, and after slicing into big squares can be enjoyed for any occasion.
I like to serve these casually after any meal, or pack them up for lunches, or to give to friends for an afternoon surprise. Good cocoa powder, preferably dark, adds to the intense flavors and creates this deep rich hue which reflects the taste.
