These brownies are the best kind of mashup — a cookie base with subtle coffee taste gives these fudgy brownies layers of flavor. The recipe borrows a classic brownie/chocolate cake technique by adding coffee to the batter, enhancing the richness of the chocolate. If you’d like a stronger coffee flavor, simply brew an extra strong cup.
While using our Trailblazer coffee in these brownies isn’t required… it is an excellent use for that leftover half a cup from your morning brew (speaking from delicious experience).
This recipe is a classic from our Lancaster, PA team member, Marsha!
