These are really good. I didn't change anything as I wanted to experience the full coffee flavor..Only issue.. it took a LOT longer then 30 minutes to reduce 8 cups of coffee to 2/3 of a cup . I made the reduction the night before and then threw the brownies together quickly the next morning. I don't think these would be good for kids as they ardent very sweet and the coffee taste is quite pronounced.. which is good for me

i made the recipe as is, nothing added or taken out... it's good just seems to be missing a little something. perhaps the chocolate chunks or maybe a toffee glaze would serve the coffee taste some justice. i'll be trying them again with the modifications soon , very soon!

After a long day of slaying rampaging bunnies or fighting off the asparagus demon from the land of no refunds, nothing will perk you up quite so well as these brownies. If it is your decision to use this recipe that has been stolen from the gods of the porcelain throne, be aware that you can reduce any amount of strong coffee to the required amount. And with that I leave you, for I must now go forth to conquer, pillage and burn down that infernal zone known simply as the shore of Jersey. So Sayeth the Mustard Pimp
