I love brownies in all forms. This one is crisp, almost like a cracker. It's great for snacking but is also amazing crumbled on top of ice cream. —James Schend, Dairy Freed

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, beat the egg, oil, sugar, water and vanilla. Whisk together the flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder and, if desired, espresso powder; stir into egg mixture until blended.

2
Spread into a greased or parchment-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Top with chopped nuts if desired. Bake until very firm to the touch, 12-15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Break into pieces. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and oil; stir until smooth. Drizzle over pieces. Let stand until set.
