• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

2. In a large bowl, melt the butter and mix in the granulated sugar until well combined.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
8. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before frosting with mocha glaze.
9. To prepare the mocha glaze, mix together cocoa powder, powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and espresso until smooth and spreadable.
10. Spread the glaze over the cooled brownies, slice, and enjoy!

Notes

Tip: For a fun twist, try adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the brownie batter for added texture.

For an extra chocolatey experience, consider adding chocolate chips to the brownie batter. If you’re looking for a non-coffee version, simply replace the espresso with a splash of vanilla extract for a rich flavor.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerate for longer freshness. To reheat, simply warm them in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.
