- 12 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon brewed espresso (you can add more or you can just not add it at all.....regular brewed or instant coffee will do just)

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Heat the oven to 350F and arrange the rack in the middle.

- Combine eggs, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, espresso, and salt in a large bowl and briefly stir until just evenly incorporated.
- Add cooled chocolate and mix until uniform in color.
- Add flour and stir until just incorporated (no white streaks should remain).
- (*Feel free to add frosting, chocolate chips, nuts or any other kind of "surprise treat" into these brownies + they're perfect with ice cream, whipped cream, fudge sauce, caramel sauce & any kind of your favorite topping*).
- Transfer batter to the prepared baking dish.
- Bake until a tester inserted in the center of the brownies comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes.
