    Marvelous Mocha Brownies ever made!

    Joey Ann Ray from Fort Wayne, IN

    These brownies are so moist, rich, and simply amazing. I followed the recipe exactly-no changes are needed. My husband, who does not drink coffee tried them and said, ".. taste a little mocha-is there coffee in these brownies?" I am a coffee lover and the java brownies "hit the spot"!

    Best Mistake I Ever Made

    Esther Schainbaum from Philadelphia, PA

    The first time I tried making these, I doubled the recipe, and the brownies were heaven! Dense, fudgy, rich - the works. Then I made a single batch a few weeks later and was so disappointed - they came out much more dry and ordinary-tasting. I double-checked the recipe and suddenly realized what I'd done: I'd forgotten to double the eggs when I originally doubled the recipe! So last weekend I made another double recipe with only 3 eggs, and voila - they were as wonderful as they'd been the first time! The moral of the story: If you're making a single batch, try using only 2 eggs, and if you're making a double, DON'T double the eggs.

    Great taste!

    Joanne Moomaw from BAIRD, TX

    Very flavorful brownies with just the right amount of coffee flavor. Had a hard time getting the icing to "set" so they were very messy, but so very good!

    Killer

    S Lewis from HOUSTON, TX

    I made these exactly except I added 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the batter. They turned out great especially with the unsweetened cocoa on top. Will be making these for Bunko soon.

    These were a great treat for students studying hard. It really wakes them up, apparently in time for tests. Not the cleanest treats to make, but easy.

    sharon ann means from BOONVILLE, MO

    This is a great change for brownies but we omitted the coffee in the icing too because it is too much caffine for kids to consume at one time.

    Java Brownies

    Nancy Rooks from LOS ALTOS, CA

    These were easy to make in a minimum of time. The texture was dense and moist, a nice combination of chocolate and coffee. My 24 year old grandson got into them before dinner and pronounced them Great! I did not frost them for as we wanted them with ice cream. Coffee ice cream would go well with them.

    Too sweet

    RALPH KAPLAN from APEX, NC

    The "cake" part of this recipe is very good, but the frosting is too sweet and overpowers the good taste of the cake.

    Java Brownies

    Kaleen A. Shaw from Troy, PA

    I made these brownies and they are absolutely delicious. I was drawn to this recipe because I love coffee. I am intrigued by recipes which use coffee as an ingredient. I would highly recommend these brownies for a ladies get together. Serve them with freshly brewed coffee and you will be a hit! Be prepared with extra copies of this recipe to hand out to your friends.

    java brownies

    Dorothy Widhalm from HOULTON, ME

    These were a nice change from regular brownies. The coffee flavor blended nicely with the chocolate even more the day after I made them. I doubled the recipe and baked it in a retangular glass dish. This required that I increased the baking time for another 10 minutes.

    Dinner Party Hit

    Jennifer Shuford from Weaverville, NC

    What an easy and delecious recipe! My dinner guests loved it. I baked it in a circular pan instead of square, so I could serve slices, for a more formal look. The coffee taste was just enough to give it a grown up twist. Will be serving this one again! Thanks, Nestle!

    Yes, I agree that these brownies were delicious, but I'm a little more on the health conscious side, so i cut back on some of the fact, like using half and half instead of whipping cream etc.
