Could there be anything more celebratory than a deep, rich, chewy chocolate brownie? Um, yeah. If it’s a brownie with double the chocolate and kicked up with some espresso. Nothing brings out the full flavor of really good chocolate like coffee.
This recipe is actually a cheat on my Italian mother-in-laws famous from-scratch brownies. Honestly, who has the time to sift flour, measure dry ingredients, and all that jazz. Okay, maybe I do but if I can get out of the kitchen faster and still look like a baking rock star, all the better.
Want to up your WOW factor? Serve these with some gelato on the side. The hubby loves pistachio but I’m a bit of a purist, make mine espresso or vanilla, thank you.

Cook Time
30 min
Total Time
40 min
Ingredients
- Boxed Fudge Brownie Mix (your favorite brand)
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1/4 Cup Espresso Coffee (room temp)
- 1/4 Vegetable Oil
- 1/4 Olive Oil
- 1/2 Cup Dark Chocolate (shaved off bar)
- 1/2 Cup Milk Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Brew espresso and allow to cool to room temperature. You can use instant espresso, but brewed has a deeper flavor. Whisk eggs and oil together. Beat into dry brownie mix along with cooled espresso. Fold in chocolate. Place in a glass baking dish 13"x9" that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake for 27-30 minutes until toothpick inserted an inch or so from the edge comes out clean. Remove and cool on a wire cooling rack.
Notes
- Do not over-work your brownie batter that will result in a cake-like brownie rather than a chewy one.
