So, making this miracle happen right in front of your eyes in your oven is some satisfaction that cannot be measured. Which is what you are going to perform by following this recipe.

Make the Halloween Special Espresso Brownies.

The recipe is so simple and has five steps.

1. Melt the butter and chocolate
2. Beat the eggs and sugar until super frothy & light
3. Mix the chocolate and eggs and a shot of espresso.
4. Add the flour, mix and bake.
5. Make the icing and decorate. Enjoy.

Step 1 – Melt the butter and chocolate

There are a lot of ways to melt chocolate – put it on a pan and melt on low flame, microwave or use a double boiler, pour something hot on it etc., My method is mostly pour something hot on it and close the pan and let it stand. So this is what I do always for my brownie recipe. Heat a sauce pan and melt the butter in it completely. Take the pan off the heat and add the chocolate. Close the sauce pan with a lid and let it stand while you whisk the eggs. When you open it after 10 minutes and use a fork, whisk you will get the smoothest of the melted chocolate you ever did. Thank me later!!

Step 2 – Beat the eggs & Sugar

This step is the key that will ensure you get the crinkly top brownies- Without this step you will only get average brownies, that maybe fudgy and gooey, but won’t have that shiny top!!

So use a heavy hand whisk or an electric whisk or beater and whisk the eggs and sugar until it mixture is pale, light and frothy.

Step 3 – Mix the chocolate and the eggs and the espresso coffee.

Pretty simple, combine the egg sugar mixture with the butter chocolate mixture. Add a warm, small shot of espresso. Use instant coffee in place of espresso if you like. Mix until you get a uniform mixture.

Step 4 – Add the flour, mix and bake

Now add flour to the eggs chocolate mixture, quickly fold and bake. The flour used here is all purpose flour. You can try gluten free mix if you like and prefer.

Add-on or toppings like chocolate chunks, chocolate chips, nuts, marshmallow, jam or peanut butter is optional. We like them plain and nice in this recipe.

Step 5 – Make the icing and decorate
