Triple Chocolate Fudge Brownies

When will I get over my brownie fixation,oh I wish I knew.I try hard not to bake brownies often because I know my diet(or the lack of it)will go right out of the window the moment brownies are out of the oven.Wait a minute,even before they are baked,I love to spoon some batter into my mouth in the name of taste test.Got to confirm I didn't add salt in place of sugar,isn't it?

This brownie started off as another recipe but in between I realized I didn't have enough chocolate,or rather Twix bars to make it a Twix Candy bar brownie.Nevertheless,it tasted delicious.Too rich,someone said.But that didn't deter me from chomping off one piece after the other.


Though the recipe is a bit different from the one I follow regularly,which actually made me apprehensive if I'd end up with a cakey brownie,I needn't have worried.The texture is perfect;chocolaty,with a hint of coffee,fudgy and a perfect crust with a surprise taste of twix bars in every bite.

Stir in the candy bars,you could reserve some for the top too.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin and bake for 25-30 minutes or till a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with a few crumbs attached.
Take care not to over bake,the brownies keep cooking while cooling down,so it is better to under bake than to over bake.
Let it cool down completely.Refrigerate for an hour or so before cutting so that you get smooth squares.
Serve on its own or with a scoop of Chocolate ice-cream.

Notes
  • If you do not have Twix bars,you could try the same recipe using 5 star.(which is what I am baking next!)
  • You could reduce(or skip)the coffee powder since I feel the flavor is too strong(for kids and coffee haters!).But the coffee combined with the chocolate is what elevates the brownie to a different level.
  • Even though it is difficult to wait,refrigerate the brownie before cutting it,overnight is recommended but at least 1 hour of cooling is necessary to get neat squares.
