Notes
You can reduce the sugar to 1 cup, just use ½ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup dark brown sugar. Or just 1 cup of granulated sugar.
If you don’t have a microwave, you can use a stove top to melt the butter. Or you can use a double boiler to melt the butter, chocolate chips and instant coffee altogether.
After coming out of the oven, the brownies are super gooey in the middle. They’ll continue to firm up as they cool.
