It's so quick and easy to make this easy Brownie recipe. The only difficult part (and not that difficult) is the baking. Brownies need to be removed from the oven when a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out still moist, but not wet with batter.
Covered with chocolate-coffee icing, these brownies are hard to resist. (Almond flavoring instead of coffee would be nice as well.)
