Ingredients
- 1 pound unsalted butter
- 1 pound plus 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 6 ounces unsweetened chocolate
- 6 extra-large eggs
- 3 tablespoons instant coffee granules
- 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups sugar
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups chopped walnuts
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Butter and flour a 12 x 18 x 1-inch baking sheet.
Melt together the butter, 1 pound of chocolate chips, and the unsweetened chocolate in a medium bowl over simmering water. Allow to cool slightly. In a large bowl, stir (do not beat) together the eggs, coffee granules, vanilla, and sugar. Stir the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and allow to cool to room temperature.
In a medium bowl, sift together 1 cup of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Add to the cooled chocolate mixture. Toss the walnuts and 12 ounces of chocolate chips in a medium bowl with 1/4 cup of flour, then add them to the chocolate batter. Pour into the baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes, then rap the baking sheet against the oven shelf to force the air to escape from between the pan and the brownie dough. Bake for about 15 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not overbake! Allow to cool thoroughly, refrigerate, and cut into 20 large squares.

I love these brownies and have learned that the expresso flavor can be easily adjusted depending on your tastes. This time I used Starbucks Via instant coffee and it was a little over the top for some of my family members but I loved it. Keep in mind that they flavor will mellow and actually be better after sitting for a day or two. Other than by mainstay which are the one-bowl brownies I have made since I was 8 years old, these are a more decadent version and very special.

Very delicious brownie recipe! I had never made brownies from scratch before, but now I will certainly never go back to the box. The texture is really great after being refrigerated, and the semi-sweet/unsweetened chocolate ratio is perfect. I used 2 tablespoons of coffee granules instead of 3 and it came out great. I've also made them with and without walnuts. Either way they are delicious, it just depends on if we want a crunch or not. My family loves these!

I made these for my sons birthday party last year and have been making them ever since. Sometimes I add the coffee and sometimes I leave it out...I always love them.
When they come out of the oven they are tasty, but when they really come into their own is the next day when they have totally chilled in the fridge. They are firm, easy to cut into any size chunk (grown-up portions of tiny 1x1cm cubes for kids parties and 'bring and shares'/pot-lucks and they taste totally amazing. Honestly the best brownie I've ever eaten.
