Recipe: Fudgy Coffee Brownies

I like my brownies to be just pure goopy chocolate with a thin flaky top layer – no nuts or frosting. This Fudgy Coffee Brownie recipe has all my favorite ingredients for a chocolate dessert. Cinnamon, espresso, and vanilla together create an amazing aroma with incredible full flavor that fills your senses. I love these. These are the best brownies. I don’t think it can get better than this. You have to eat these warm.
