Triple Chocolate Espresso Brownies

Tweet

Hello everyone ! Hope you are all doing great. No, I didn't quite forget about this space. Just got tied up with some personal matters. Meanwhile I have been cooking a lot, though I couldn't take a lot of pictures. But sooner or later, you will get to see more recipes from me,I promise.

This post has been lying in the draft for sometime now and I thought it is apt for this time, with the weather getting so cooler every day. Fall is in full swing in Colorado,almost every tree is yellow or red. The mountains were looking astoundingly beautiful a few weeks back. I love Fall ! But then I love all four seasons I get to see here, unlike in my homeland.

I love the smell of fall ! The colorful leaves, pumpkins, apples and the cool breeze... Not to mention all the baking and the warm smell of cinnamon in my kitchen. This is not a Fall recipe, but I would say, brownies are an anytime favorite. So I am sharing this recipe here today, and yes I will come back soon with some exciting Fall recipes for you all.

These Brownies are dangerously addictive, with a subtle coffee flavor. If you want to make a twist to your usual brownies recipe, this is a great one to try. So get ready to warm up your kitchen and also to indulge yourself !
