    Chocolate Chip Brownies Worthy of Celebrating

    Chocolate Chip Brownies are a rich chocolatey treat everyone chocoholic will love, with or without nuts.

    Looking for a celebratory chocolate treat? These Chocolate Chip Brownies are rich and decadent and worthy of any celebration. Heck, the brownies themselves deserve their own celebration. Yup, they are that good.

    One look at the ingredient list will let you know these are not your typical box brownie mix brownies.

    A cup of butter, 2 ½ cups of sugar and 6 eggs! Not exactly low calorie.

    But they are so delicious! The brownies are rather thick, so you might want to cut them into 24 pieces to help prevent yourself from eating too much at once.

    Luckily when I made them it was for an impromptu get together with some dear friends and I left half of the leftovers with them to help us all avoid the temptation to eat them all at once.

    I wasn't sure if everyone liked nuts, so I only added them to half of the pan. And of course I taste tested both just to be sure they were equally delicious. They are.

    Espresso Powder in Brownies?!

    No, these are not mocha flavored brownies. You do not taste the coffee flavor at all. TRUST ME, my coffee hating teen loved these.

    The pinch of espresso powder in here just amps up the chocolate flavor in wonderful ways. I always try to keep a jar on hand (the brand I use) to use any time I bake brownies, chocolate cakes or muffins.

    Or when I need a quick shot of espresso.

      I'm a sucker for a good brownie. And I love putting espresso powder in my chocolate desserts. It really does elevate the chocolate flavor.
