Honestly, it would take a pretty big uh-oh to mess up the perfection that is a brownie. Throw some chocolate and sugar in there (and, you know, some of those other vital ingredients), and you've got yourself a crowd-pleaser.

However, there are some brownie recipes that are just so delicious and chocolatey that you can tell in the first bite it would be hard to find a better one. Those out-of-this-world brownies pack a secret punch that would leave even those indifferent towards brownies drooling for more.

The secret ingredient is ... coffee granules! Now you can combine your favorite dessert with your go-to morning drink. Instant coffee granules give these treats a caffeine boost and mild coffee flavor for all the latte lovers out there.
