Deep Chocolate & Pistachio Brownies image

Found in Family Circle. These have such a nice deep flavor of chocolate and the addition of some espresso does not hurt one bit! I could not find mini Hershey Kisses so I used some Nestle Semisweet Chocolate Chips and they worked fine.

As soon as it starts to simmer, remove it from the heat and pour it over the chocolate. - To prevent the pie from cracking, let it cool completely before topping it with the ganache. - For a richer chocolate experience, use dark chocolate instead of bittersweet chocolate.
