AppId is over the quota

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.

Insider's tip: if you want to make these brownies even better, try spiking the mix with your favorite liqueur. For a mellow, nutty flavor, try some Frangelico, and for more coffee flavor with a kick, add some Kahlua.

I have a confession to make: Summer foods are starting to get the best of me. It was like coming into the season, like so many others, I was so focused on eating well, working out, and soaking in the rays. Now that we're midsummer, though, I'm just ... surrounded. Everywhere I turn there is some sort of delicious treat that I just have to have. Everywhere.
