Mocha Brownies

If you are a coffee lover, these are for you!! I made these when we had friends over and paired them with some mint chocolate chip ice cream... HEAV-EN!!! (At least for my sister in law and I, who love coffee!) The were so fudgy, filled with coffee flavor and gone in 2 seconds! We must have talked about the taste and texture of them the whole time we were devouring them - I think I caught our husbands rolling their eyes a few times (in between plays of the Twins game)...
