Thank you Mom2Rose for sharing this recipe. I love brownies and this recipe is awesome, quick and easy to make. The brownies were terrific, love the chocolate and mocha flavors, you could taste both, they were so good. The brownies were tender and full of flavor. I used Ghirardelli Triple Chocolate Brownie Mix instead of Betty Crocker, personal preference only. The mocha frosting was the best, smooth, creamy and full of coffee flavor, topped with the chocolate glaze it was the perfect topping for these delicious brownies. Into my keeper box this recipe goes.
