Espresso Brownies
I got this from Giada from the food network. I took these to a jewelry party- super easy- the girls devoured them in 5 minutes probably not great for the kids but the adults likey.

Espresso Brownies

Directions

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


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.
