Espresso Brownies

Cook Time: 35 min
Level: Easy
Yield: 36 bite-size brownies


Ingredients:

Nonstick vegetable oil cooking spray

1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons water

1/3 cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons espresso powder

1 (19.8-ounce) box brownie mix (recommended: Duncan Hines)

3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature


Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Spray a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Whisk 1/3 cup of
water, oil, eggs, and 2 tablespoons espresso powder in a large bowl to
blend. Add the brownie mix. Stir until well blended. Stir in the
chocolate chips. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan. Bake
until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out
with a few moist crumbs attached, about 35 minutes. Cool completely.

Meanwhile, dissolve the remaining 2 teaspoons of espresso powder in
the remaining 2 tablespoons of water in a medium bowl. Whisk in the
vanilla. Add the powdered sugar and butter and whisk until smooth.
Pour the glaze over the brownies. Refrigerate until the glaze is set.
Cut into bite-size pieces. Arrange the brownies on a platter and
serve.
