fudgy coffee brownies

in my hope to be soon ex apartment, i have not had much success as far as baking is concerned. my oven could never get the job done, or so i thought. frustrated, i almost gave up on baking altogether. until, as a last resort, i bought an oven safe thermometer. quickly i learned that my oven was more than a 100 degrees off. with the help of the thermometer i felt i got back in control.
i love baked goods that have coffee in them, even though i am not a coffee drinker myself. so when i came across these fudgy coffee brownies, in one of my gourmet magazines, i had to give them a try. they were really easy to make and came out wonderful, the mixture of the chocolate and the coffee was just right. a great way to start the day with your coffee or, in my case, tea.
