What makes rich, fudgy brownies even better? Coffee! Adding a dash of espresso powder and using a coffee-infused chocolate bar takes the flavor of this childhood classic and gives it a slightly serious, sophisticated update. This recipe, which comes to us from Sugar Plum Chocolates, a gourmet chocolate and nut company in Forty Fort, PA, uses organic homegrown eggs from Carbon County, plus organic dark Dutch Peruvian cocoa powder, and organic espresso chocolate melted in for a major dose of local love.
