2. Stir in granulated sugar and brown sugar and melt again for 30 seconds OR until the sugar and butter start to bubble slightly. Make sure not to burn this mixture.
3. Place this saucepanin the freezer for 10 minutes so as to cool down the mixture slightly.
4. Add brewed coffee, cocoa powder, espresso powder, eggs, and vanilla extractand mix until smooth.

RECIPE NOTES

- Read all my tips above.

- Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Here are some TIPS for making PERFECT mocha brownies with coffee glaze:

• Your brownies are only as good as the ingredients you use. Use the BEST QUALITY of coffee and cocoa powder you can find.
• Brewed coffee should be at room temperature. Do not use boiling hot coffee.
• This brownie recipe is made with cocoa powder. Do not replace that with melted chocolate because the texture will change.
• Be very careful NOT to burn the sugar and butter mixture. You can prepare the mixture in a saucepan or the microwave.
• You MUST cool down the sugar mixture before adding the rest of the ingredients or else the eggs will start cooking in this hot mixture.
• DON’T skip the coffee glaze. It really takes these brownies over the top and you can truly taste the chocolate and coffee flavors bursting in your mouth.
• Brownies are ready when an inserted toothpick in the center comes out with a few sticky crumbs. If it comes out dry, you have over-baked your brownies. They will still taste great but won’t be as fudgy.
• You can omit walnuts in this recipe OR replace them with any other nut you like.
• If you like really ooey gooey brownies, under-bake these brownies. They won’t be fully cooked through but they are soooooooo good! I suggest baking for only 20 minutes for this ooey gooey texture.
• Store leftover brownies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
