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.

Time 50m

Yield 16 brownies, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces (1 stick)
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
3/4 teaspoon espresso powder
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour

extra chopped pistachios (to garnish) (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F Line an 8x8x2" baking pan with non-stick foil or parchment paper - leaving an edge so you can lift the brownies out of the pan later.

  • Add sugar and espresso powder and mix until combined. Add eggs and vanilla and stir until eggs are incorporated.
  • Stir in flour and salt until just combined.
  • Fold in Kisses (or chocolate chips) and nuts.
  • Pour into prepared pan and bake at 350F for 30-35 minutes.
  • Cool 15 minutes and then using foil edges lift brownies from pan; cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Cut into squares and garnish with additional chopped pistachios if desired.

These brownies were a bit too dry for my taste, but they still had a good flavor. I think I would add more butter or oil next time.

These brownies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
