Ingredients

4 ounces - semisweet chocolate
4 ounces - unsalted butter
1 tbsp - instant coffee powder
1 tbsp - warm water
1 cup - brown sugar
2 - eggs
⅔ cup - all-purpose flour
½ tsp - baking powder
½ cup - cashews

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8 inch square baking dish and set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat the chocolate and butter over low heat. Stir frequently until full melted. Take off of the heat and set aside to let cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix together the coffee powder and the warm water. Let cool.
In a large bowl, cream together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Fold in the chocolate mixture and the coffee mixture. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Sift in the flour and baking powder and fold in until combined. Add in the cashews and gently mix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes. You'll know they're done when a toothpick inserted into the brownies comes out clean.
Let cool slightly, cut into squares, and ENJOY!
