Mocha Toffee Brownies

It is about time for some chocolate, don’t you think? These brownies are ultra rich, ultra chewy, and ultra caffeinated. Enjoy them with a big glass of milk. You don’t have to feel too guilty about eating them either, the recipe is from Cooking Light.

If you are a coffee fanatic, you could even make a simple coffee glaze to drizzle over the top with powdered sugar, a little instant coffee and a bit of milk. Just stir well to incorporate the powdered sugar then drizzle over the top. If that sounds like too much coffee flavor for you, then you might want to stick with a chocolate or caramel glaze. I had mine plain since that is what the recipe called for, and they are great that way too!

Updated: One thing I forgot to add earlier was that freezing these brownies for a few days, then defrosting, made them much less potent on the coffee flavor, and also incredibly moist. If you make these and they have too much of a coffee taste, I highly recommend freezing and trying them after a few days.

Mocha Toffee Brownies
Makes one 9″-square pan

Cooking spray
2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
1/4 cup hot water
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/3 cups sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa

2. Coat bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.

3. Combine coffee and hot water, stirring until coffee dissolves.

4. Combine butter and chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at high 1 minute or until butter melts; stir until chocolate is smooth.

5. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Combine coffee mixture, butter mixture, vanilla, and eggs in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add coffee mixture to flour mixture; stir just until combined. Spread evenly into prepared pan. Sprinkle evenly with toffee chips. Bake at 350º for 22 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

  1. yum! I love espresso brownies..and these are low-fat? That's even better! They look like they're probably fudgy in texture, which is how I like my brownies..I'll definitely have to try these.

  2. these look so dangerously delish that I am not sure whether to drop everything and make them NOW or pretend for the sake of my waistline that I never saw this post?

    Decided to make them now…

  3. I'm a big brownie and coffee fan so these are right up my alley! Thanks for sharing them on Melt in Your Mouth Monday!

  4. We like a lot of similar things–I've made mocha toffee brownies before too, but it's definitely not a light recipe. ha! These sound and look divine. Mocha and toffee is one of my favorite combos. My favorite cake is devil's food with mocha buttercream and toffee pressed into the sides. I call it "Mocha Crunch Cake." soo good!
