I’d recommend adding the coffee even if you hate it. I have a new favorite chocolate cake recipe that uses a cup of cold coffee (black), and it is absolutely awesome, and you can’t taste the coffee at all, it just makes the chocolate flavor more intense. Nobody could tell it had coffee in it, and the 13 year old girl I made it with said she didn’t want to eat it because of the coffee, but after convincing her to try it, she loved it. Then she requested it for her next birthday cake.

Something very spooky happened yesterday and I found myself on this page with NO clue why! I’d assumed I’d opened a most recent post and that it was yesterday’s “Wednesday Baking” but then I discovered it was nearly 3 years ago! How bizarre!

Anyway, I decided to run with fate and bake these. They are awesome! Dead easy, store cupboard ingredients (ie cocoa not chocolate) and they cooked up with just the perfect crunch on the top and moistness inside.

Now printed and inserted into my “sweet stuff” recipe folder for future making

Thanks again!

I am ecstatic about this recipe! I bought a giant container of cocoa powder for no bake choc peanut butter oatmeal cookies but am ready to use it for brownies! And this is a kid friendly recipe so the brownie monster can make them himself!

Hi,

My brownies are now in the oven, I found the recipe nice and easy to follow, but my batter came out very very dry (as in solid) I suspect that my eggs were a bit too small, so added about half an eggs worth of mixed eggs.

I guess I’ll find out whether I was right in about 20 Minutes.

Miriam, no hot chocolate mix in Switzerland? You must live in a different Switzerland to the one I know! I always bring a BIG pack – or two – or three back with me from Switzerland. One of my favorites is Caotina Noir – Swiss Chocolate Drink Mix. I love it. That is what I am going to use for my Frugal Girl Brownies.

Oh yum; I missed this recipe last year. Have copied down the recipe and will adapt for a sugar free version for DD – thank you so much.
She loves brownies, but like you, I tend not to make them much when they call for ‘real’ chocolate as they work out expensive. I make them at Christmas and birthdays as a treat
Eggs are quite expensive over here now, but I guess 2 isn’t too bad!
