This fudgy, gooey Starbucks Espresso Brownies recipe was developed by my wife after she became addicted to them at the shop more than a decade ago. They are perfect for breakfast alongside a cappuccino or vanilla latte, and are delightfully dense and fudgy.
Her recipe became so popular at her job that the newsroom was constantly asking for her to bring them in. In fact, one batch brought in $75 for a charity auction!
