We say that the perfect way to start 2013 off is with some scrumptious coffee and chocolate brownies. Normally, we hesitate to ever use instant coffee, but sometimes it’s the best thing to use in some recipes to add that coffee flavor. This happens to be one of those recipes, but you’ll hardly notice as your wolfing down these sweet treats. Yum!
