Mocha Chocolate Chip Brownies A 100 Visa Giftcard Giveaway!
I am so excited about today's post.
It includes one of my favorite recipes AND a fun giveaway!
You see, Maxwell House recently contacted me with a great idea for their Maxwell House International product. Not only is Maxwell House International delicious as a cafe-style beverage all by itself, but you can add a few spoonfuls instead of creamer to add a little romance to your coffee! I'm always pleased to find new ways of using something, speaking of which, Maxwell House International can also be used in these delicious brownies:
I first started making these brownies right after Kate was born.
When I am nursing, I crave cookies and brownies like NOBODY's business.
I barely had any pregnancy cravings, but nursing?
Hello!
Must. Have. Chocolate!
Here is what you need:
2 sticks butter
Bag of chocolate chips (I use milk chocolate)
(You will separate the chocolate chips into 1 1/4 cups and 2/3 cups)
1/2 cup unsweetened chocolate powder
1 tablespoon + 1 1/2 teaspoons Maxwell House International (any flavor!)
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 cup + 2 tablespoons sugar
3 eggs
1/2 cup flour
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt (I use Sea Salt)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Bag of chocolate chips (I use milk chocolate)
(You will separate the chocolate chips into 1 1/4 cups and 2/3 cups)
1/2 cup unsweetened chocolate powder
1 tablespoon + 1 1/2 teaspoons Maxwell House International (any flavor!)
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 cup + 2 tablespoons sugar
3 eggs
1/2 cup flour
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt (I use Sea Salt)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
Melt together the butter, 1 1/4 cups of chocolate chips, and the unsweetened chocolate in a medium bowl over simmering water. You don't want that chocolate to burn!
Remove from heat when it is all melted together & allow to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, add the eggs, Maxwell House International, vanilla, and sugar.
Gently stir (do not beat!)
Stir the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and allow to cool to room temperature.
In a medium bowl, sift together 1/2 cup of flour, the baking powder, and salt.

Add to the cooled chocolate mixture.
Toss the 2/3 cup chocolate chips in a medium bowl with 2 tablespoons of flour, then add them to the chocolate batter.
****If you want to add nuts to your brownies, you would add 1 cup of nuts and also have them coated with this flour/chocolate chip mixture******
Add to brownie mixture:
Lightly stir to combine:
Pour into the baking dish:
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Do not overbake!
Allow to cool thoroughly.
You can also then refrigerate them, and cut into squares.
You will never want to use a boxed brownie mix again.
They literally melt in your mouth.
You need to make these ASAP.
Your family will love you.
Your friends will love you.
Your co-workers will love you.
Your neighbors will love you.
There isn't a strong coffee taste to the brownies at all, it just enhances the flavor of the chocolate.
Here are 4 types of Maxwell House International flavors that I have used in these brownies.
My favorite is the Vanilla Bean, followed by Original Cappuccino.
There are so many to try, including
French Vanilla, Vanilla Nut, Hazelnut, Suisse Mocha, Vanilla Caramel, and Café Vienna.
