I LOVE Giada's recipes. I have yet to make one that did not come out exactly as it should have. These brownies are exquisite and if you're an espresso lover, a must-have! And I love the fact as well-educated as Giada is in cooking/baking, she's not above using a box mix for the basic brownie, and "doctoring" it up to make it special.

This is a great recipe. I've made it twice, once with vanilla extract in the glaze and once with almond extract. It is very rich and easy to be satified with a small piece. Next time I'd like to make it in mini muffin ccups to have little individual pieces. Definatley an easy must-try for any chocolate ad coffee lovers!!
