I'm one of those people who need chocolate on a regular basis. I looked high and low for a rich brownie recipe that called for cocoa instead of chocolate squares...and this is it. My family loves these brownies - they never last more than a day at our house. -Karen Trapp, North Weymouth, Massachusetts

Love them! My daughter was concerned about the coffee granules, but there is absolutely no coffee taste to them.

this is one that I make all the time. I usually have the ingredients on hand. It isn't very hard and the result gets cheers and they go fast so I double the recipe.( I don't use the inst coffee though.)

The rest of those brownies are "calling" me. LOL Thanks goodness I only made a half of the recipe.
I just made this recipe and cut it in half - SINFUL. I will give it 5 stars or more. What is the top number? Rich Chocolate Brownies- (Half recipe) 1 cup sugar (1/2 cup) 2 eggs (1 egg) 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (1/4 teaspoon) 1/2 cup butter, melted (1/4 cup) 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (1/4 cup) 1/3 cup baking cocoa (1/6 cup) 1/4 teaspoon baking powder (1/8 teaspoon) 1/4 teaspoon salt (1/8 teaspoon) FROSTING: 3 tablespoons baking cocoa (1 1/2 tablespoons) 3 tablespoons butter, melted (1 1/2 tablespoons) 2 tablespoons warm water (1 tablespoon) 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules (1/2 teaspoon) 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar (3/4 cups) In a large bowl, beat the sugar, eggs and vanilla. Beat in butter. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add to batter and mix well. Pour into a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. In a large bowl, beat the sugar, eggs and vanilla. Beat in butter. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add to batter and mix well. Pour into a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. For frosting, combine the cocoa and butter. Combine the water and coffee granules; add to cocoa mixture. Stir in sugar until smooth. Frost brownies. Yield: 12 servings. Nutrition Facts: 1 serving (1 each) equals 257 calories, 12 g fat (7 g saturated fat), 64 mg cholesterol, 174 mg sodium, 38 g carbohydrate, 1 g fiber, 2 g protein. I made 1/2 recipe and baked in a round 5 1/2 x 1 1/2 layer pan (I greased and floured pan). Watch time after 20 -25 minutes "but" bakes about the same as a whole recipe. YUMMY - half recipe almost as "bad" as a whole recipe.

I love Taste of Home and bake constantly. These are the worst brownies I've ever made. They tasted like raw eggs and never rose. The eggs were fresh and were fine when used with other recipes so not sure what I may have done wrong, but my chocoholic husband actually said he may never eat chocolate again after these.

My brownies also sank in the middle but I thought maybe it was because I doubled the recipe (and used a 9 x 14 pan).

the brownies tasted excellent. But they did not rise, like I thought. They sank in the middle. What did I do wrong? Any suggestions? I do live in the higher alltitudes.
