• Microwave the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until fully melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Beat the sugar, butter and eggs in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder in a medium bowl. On low speed, slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until combined. Slowly add the melted chocolate, milk and coffee and mix until fully incorporated. Pour into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a rubber spatula.

• Combine butter and chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Place over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted. Stir in espresso powder. Remove from heat; set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine eggs, sugars, vanilla, and salt. Whisk to combine. Add the chocolate mixture, and whisk to combine. Add flour, and whisk until just combined. Divide batter evenly between prepared baking sheets, using an offset spatula to smooth the surface. Bake, rotating baking sheets, until a shiny crust appears on the surface and the center is still soft when a cake tester is inserted into the center, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
• Invert brownies onto parchment paperâ€"lined cutting boards, and remove parchment. Re-invert brownies onto parchment paperâ€"lined cutting boards. Place one of the brownies in the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour. Let remaining brownie stand, covered at room temperature, for 1 hour. Spread room temperature brownie evenly with ganache. Remove chilled brownie from refrigerator, and place on top of ganache using an offset spatula to loosen, if necessary. Press gently to adhere. Transfer to refrigerator, and chill for 1 hour.
• Remove from refrigerator, and trim edges. Cut into 2-by-2-inch squares. Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Coat bottom and sides of 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. (I don't have a 9-inch baking dish, I used an 8X8 glass dish, and it worked for us since we like our brownies a little wet, we think it's more decadent that way!).
• Combine coffee and hot water and stir until coffee is dissolved.
• Combine butter and chocolate chips in microwaveable dish and heat on high for 1 minute until butter melts, then stir until this mixture is smooth.
• Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in large bowl, stirring with a whisk.

• Add coffee mixture with flour mixture; stir just until combined.
• Spread evenly into prepared pan. Sprinkle evenly with toffee chips.
• Bake at 350F for 22 minutes, cool on wire rack. Cut into squares when competely cooled. We like to refrigerate them before cutting.

Steps:

• HEAT oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 8 x 8-inch pan with no-stick cooking spray.
• COMBINE 1 cup flour and sugar in medium bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press firmly into prepared pan.
• BAKE 12 to 15 minutes.
• COMBINE sweetened condensed milk, cocoa, egg, 1/4 cup flour, vanilla and baking powder in large bowl. Dissolve coffee in hot water. Add to cocoa mixture. Mix well. Stir in nuts. Spread over baked crust.
• BAKE 20 to 25 minutes or until center is set. Cool. Frost, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of the pan with an overhang on two opposite sides.
• For the brownies: Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder and salt in a small bowl and set aside. Whisk together the sugar, butter and oil in a large bowl. Add the eggs and vanilla and whisk just until combined. Using a spatula, stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until no flour streaks remain and then fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake until the center is slightly set, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for about 30 minutes.
• For the ganache: When the brownies are ready, put the chocolate in a small heatproof bowl and set aside. Heat the cream and coffee in a small saucepan just until it barely reaches a simmer. Pour the liquid over the chocolate and let sit for 10 seconds before whisking until smooth and shiny. Pour the ganache over the cooled brownies, gently shaking to completely coat the top. Let sit at room temperature until completely cool (about 1 hour) or pop into the refrigerator for 15 minutes before sprinkling with sea salt (if using). Run a knife around the edge of the baking pan and use the parchment to lift out the brownies before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350* F.
• In a bowl, combine 1 cup of the flour with the sugar. Cut in butter until crumbly. Press firmly into the bottom of a greased 13x9 pan. Bake 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine condensed milk, cocoa, egg, remaining 1/4 cup flour, liqueur (or instant coffee--see NOTE), vanilla, and baking powder; mix well. Stir in nuts if using.
• Spread brownie mixture over baked crust. Bake 20 minutes or until center is set. Cool and frost if desired.

Steps:

• In bowl combine sugar and butter. In microwave melt chocolate. Slowly add chocolate and coffee to butter mixture. Stir to combine. Spread onto cooled brownies.

Steps:

• I dump the dry mix into a large mixing bowl and add the two tsps of instant espresso to the dry mix.
• In a measuring cup I put the 1/3 cup oil and 1/3 cup water, then add the vanilla and coffee flavoring, makes it easier for me.
• Add the egg to the dry mix and then all the rest of the wet ingredients.
• Stir by hand, as directed on the box, about 50 strokes - or until there aren't any ( or many) dry lumps.
• Scrape the bowl into a prepared baking pan. The box calls for a 13 x 9 pan, but I spray the bottom of an 8x8 square pan with cooking spray and use that.
• The package calls for a much longer baking time than I find necessary. I use my Cuisinart Toaster/ Oven/ Broiler and it takes 35 minutes at 350 degrees for it to be perfect.

Steps:

• Melt 1 cup butter + 1 cup unsweetened cocoa in sauce pan over low heat (it's easier to almost melt the butter first and then add the cocoa).
• Remove from heat and add 2 cups sugar, 4 large eggs, 1 cup flour, 1 cup chopped nuts (I use walnuts), 1 teaspoons vanilla and 1/4 teaspoons salt.
• Spread over buttered 9 x 13 pan. Bake 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Test with toothpick in center until almost clean.

• Melt 3/4 stick butter and 1/2 cup cocoa. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup boiling water with 1 heaping teaspoons instant coffee. Add 2 cups confectioner's sugar. Beat until smooth. You can use a whisk. Add more sugar or more water to get good consistency (not too thick and not too runny). Spread on cooled cake and refrigerate 1 hour.
• Note: You do not need to use beaters for the brownie recipe. I wooden spoon or a rubber spatula will work well.
