Chocolate and Coffee are two ingredients that compliment each other very well. What could be better than Mocha Macadamia Double Chocolate Brownies!
I love my morning cup of coffee but this challenge was a difficult one. I am the only household member who is addicted to the coffee and I certainly didn’t want to be eating all the baked treats on my own!
Then I remembered how everyone loves my brownies and I decided I would adapt my double choc brownie recipe for the challenge.
I am pleased to report that it was a complete success. The brownies were delicious, I now have an empty cake platter and my waistline is intact.
