I am finally posting on the actual reveal day for the #chocolateparty!  Honestly, I almost thought about skipping this month.  But September marks the 1 year anniversary, and I have done every other month over the last year, so I couldn’t skip the last one.  The ingredient we had to pair with chocolate this month?  Coffee.

See, I know that coffee and chocolate are a classic combination, but I don’t like coffee.  I am sure I have mentioned this before, but I just can not get on board with it.  I have read and seen in many places over the years, that coffee can be used in a chocolate recipe to enhance the chocolate flavor, not necessarily add coffee flavor.  To be honest, I didn’t believe it.  Coffee has such a distinct, strong flavor, I didn’t think it was possible.  I finally decided to put this theory to the test.

Guess what?  They were right!  If you use just a little big of coffee granules in a recipe, you can’t taste the coffee.  It just gives the chocolate a deep and rich flavor.  I have had my eye on Ina Garten’s brownie recipe for years.  So once I decided to actually buy coffee at the store, this was the recipe I was going to try.  I am so glad I finally gave in.  The brownies are so fudgy, rich, and chocolatey.  Kind of makes me wonder what other things I have been missing out on!

  1. Good on you for doing all of the challenge and this one on the reveal date 🙂
    YEH!!
    Such a gorgeous moist looking brownie too 🙂

  2. These brownies look so fudgy and rich, coffee is of my favorite additions – it really makes the chocolate pop!

  3. Your brownies look amazing, so rich and decadent. I’m a bit like you in not wanting to mess up my chocolate with other flavors but you’ve convinced me to give a bit of coffee a try!

  4. Great brownie recipe, can’t go wrong with Ina’s recipes. I wish I had a few of these with some of your vanilla bean ice cream.

  5. A nice balance between coffee and chocolate in a classic dessert. Thanks so much for bringing it to the Chocolate Party!
