Triple Chocolate Espresso Brownie’s

While on our family vacation to California, one of my most favorite places to visit was Ghirardelli Chocolate Factory. I mean really, who wouldn’t want to go there? Of course I came home with a bag full of chocolate. One of the items I had picked up was their Chocolate covered Espresso Beans. Oh My Heck…..DANG GOOD! (Now if you are not a Coffee fan, you can still make these fabulous brownie’s! Just substitute the Espresso beans with chocolate covered peanuts or toffee pieces) I will warn you that these are VERY RICH, so you can cut them in smaller pieces and be totally satisfied.  I also drizzled these with my  Homemade Strawberry Pomegranate Syrup To kick it up a notch. I highly recommend you do the same…DIVINE!
