Summer: Day 65 (Recipe)

Coffee Double Chocolate Brownies
This recipe is my very own adaptation of a cooks.com recipe. It's an easy way to make coffee brownies, and the chocolate chip options can be substituted for basically any toppings or types.
It was a great travel dessert, because they hold together in tupperware containers without falling apart. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures. 
Total time: 50 min. (10 prep, 30 bake, 10 cool)

1 beaten egg
1 (21 1/2 oz.) pkg. fudge brownie mix
1/4 c. cooking oil
1/4 c. instant coffee grounds 
1/2  c. water
1/2  c. large size semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips/pieces (the nicer the brand, the better)
1/2  c. white chocolate chips

In a large mixing bowl combine egg, brownie mix, cooking oil, coffee grounds, water, chocolate chips. Stir just until combined. Spread in a greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan (I prefer using a light coating of shortening for the greaser, but butter works as well). Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes (toothpick may not come out clean if you stick it through a chocolate chip). Cool completely in pan  Cut into bars. Makes 36 small brownies.

Note: The edge brownies taste better after a day or two. No clue why.
