INGREDIENTS
10 tbsp
unsalted butter (1 1/4 sticks), melted
2
large eggs
3/4 cup
granulated sugar
1/4 cup
light brown sugar, packed
2 tbsp
brewed coffee (leftover from the morning brew is fine), optional but recommend to enhance chocolate flavor and does not make brownies taste like coffee
1 tbsp
vanilla extract
3/4 cup
plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (natural or Dutch-process, I used Hershey’s natural)
1 tsp
instant espresso coffee granules, optional but recommend to enhance chocolate flavor and does not make brownies taste like coffee
1/4 tsp
salt, optional and to taste
1/2 cup
all-purpose flour
about 12 to 15 fun-size candy bars, diced in half if it’s larger like a Twix (I used Butterfinger, 3 Musketeers, Milky Way, Snickers, Mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Nestle Crunch, Twix)

semi-sweet chocolate chips, for topping
1/3 cup
M&M’s for topping, optional
