Oh my! These were so good. They were very easy to make. I made exactly as stated except leaving out the nuts for the kids. They were very rich and tasted fantastic. Next time I might increase the coffee just a tad.

Wonderfully rich chocolatey brownie with just a hint of coffee flavor. I don't like a really strong coffee flavor. These were just right. I've got to make some of these to take to work - major brownie points! Made for Aus/NZ Swap #32.

One word, AMAZING. I used chocolate covered coffee beans, as this was all I had. Received rave review from the guests served.

Wow, these brownies were so good. I swear, I turned around and they were all gone. I'll just have to make more, what a hardship that is. These brownies were to die for...lots of flavour and very moist and tender. I love coffee flavoured brownies the best...these were excellant. Thanks for sharing.

These should be called "Vanishing Coffee Brownies" I brought them to work and that is exactly what happened. I did not use any nuts in it.
