Instant Chocolate and coffee together, yum!! The espresso adds a coffee flavor that compliments the rich, deep chocolate flavor of the brownies.

Wow, this was a wicked chocolate overload (which is a good thing in my book...lol) I did cut the sugar to just 1 cup and added half a cup of chopped walnuts. I might play around with different mix of chocolates. But, it's already darn good as it is! Thanks so much Mirj.

    These are excellent...next time may try with 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate bits to add some crunchiness. Sprinkled powdered sugar on the top after they cooled. Will make soon again. I used a pyrex baking dish, greased with Crisco, cut Brownies in the pan after done , and they came out easily with no sticking.

    These are very chocolatey, super rich, and delicious brownies. I originally found this recipe on the Cook's Illustrated website and made their non-coffee version (same recipe, without the espresso powder). I used 4 oz bittersweet and 1 oz semisweet (instead of 5 oz semi) and melted the choc. & butter in the microwave. I've been searching for the perfect brownie recipe and this one comes pretty close! Thanks for posting Mirj! — Apr 27, 2006 Updating to add that the second time I made these I used the 5 oz semisweet chocolate and they weren't as good (for my tastebuds). I think the best combo would be to use equal parts bitter- & semisweet (where the recipe calls for just semi). This recipe is just begging to be tried again!
