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.

The only reason that I am giving this recipe even two stars is because I like the chocolate and coffee combination. The rest of the recipe is far too buttery and chewy. My son loves brownies and he says they are too much like fudge. Maybe I should have added more flour or less butter - something was not right! I put them in the refrigerator as directed but that did not help. They just got more solid, but still tasted too greasy. Anybody have that problem and fix it successfully?

This recipe is amazing! The only thing is that the coffee flavor is STRONG. I used starbucks instant coffee (which might be why it was soooo strong-- and although I LOVE the flavor, other people who don't like coffee flavor should just skip the instant coffee flavoring or add very little.

TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS!!! YUMMY! We love the texture! We had crunchy edges and top. Based on past reviews I did modify: 1-tbsp of instant espresso, used 4 ounces of semi-sweet/2 ounces of unsweetened chocolate, 8 oz vs. 12 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips mixed in, used parchment paper, and I only had margarine and crisco to replace the butter. I also used Ghiradelli chocolate. My kids thought they were perfect! This is a keeper!

AWFUL. Oilly, doughy in middle and burned around edges. Followed directions to a T. For the amount of chocolate that went into them huge waste of resources.

Best. Brownies. Ever. Hands down. The first time I made them I didn't give them enough cooling time and they were crumbling. Still tasted like perfection but...now I make them the day before and refrigerate overnight. No crumbling. They are in the oven now and my mouth is watering!!
