How to Make Chocolate Mocha Frosted Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a 13x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the brownies out later. Grease the parchment paper.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter over low heat.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Add 4 large eggs to the dry ingredients. Pour in the melted butter and 1 cup of boiling water. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. While the brownies are baking, prepare the frosting.
  9. In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water, combine ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped, ¼ cup strong brewed coffee, and ¼ cup corn syrup.
  10. Stir constantly until the chocolate and butter are melted and the mixture is smooth.
  11. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before frosting. Once cool, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
  12. Slice and serve. Enjoy!
