Notes
Make sure your butter is at room temperature for the frosting. Add more brewed coffee to the frosting for an extra kick. Don’t overbake the brownies for a fudgy texture. Chocolate chips or chopped nuts can be added for extra texture and flavor. A sprinkle of cocoa powder on top makes the brownies even more inviting.
