If you’ve been following along for awhile, you know I’m a coffee lover!  I love to drink it throughout the day, every day.  So when I saw the Food Network Magazine had 50 Recipes for Coffee Lovers, I knew I’d be making some.  Honestly, it was a hard decision on which recipe to make first, but my son said the brownies looked good so that’s where we started.  These brownies are rich, fudgy, and quite delicious with the addition of coffee, but the frosting is what takes it over the top.  I was literally eating it out of the bowl and licked the bowl clean because I couldn’t get enough of it!  If you’re a coffee lover like me then you’re going to enjoy these Coffee Frosted Coffee Brownies just as much as I did.
