I didn't find the Starbucks espresso brownie but on one of the coffee boards people were going on and on about how good these brownies were. I have not tried them personally. MIETTE'S ESPRESSO BROWNIES (Not Starbucks) 1 1/3 cups chopped bittersweet chocolate (Scharffen Berger 62 percent)1 cup butter 3 eggs 3/4 cup sugar 1 tablespoon brewed espresso (preferably Blue Bottle Espresso. You can add 2 teaspoons of freshly ground espresso beans instead of brewed for a more intense espresso flavor) 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 cup flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup cocoa powder Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a double boiler, melt together chocolate and butter. Cool. Place chocolate-butter mixture into a mixing bowl and beat slowly to fully incorporate. Add eggs, sugar, espresso and vanilla to mixing bowl and mix until glossy and smooth. Mix dry ingredients together in a separate bowl and add to the chocolate mixture. Mix thoroughly. Spread into a lightly greased 9-by-13-inch baking dish and bake for 25 minutes, or until just set. Makes about 15 brownies.
