Homemade Mocha Chocolate Chip Brownies

Totally decadent, totally delicious, these Mocha Chocolate Chip Brownies make a stunning, homemade treat that takes just minutes longer than a box mix!

Sometimes I like to make a treat that is just.for.me. When I’m making something that is just for me, I want it to be rich and indulgent and totally decadent.

You ever feel like that?

I mean, don’t get me wrong, I LOVE making the boys treats that I know they’ll love like Candy Corn Sugar Cookie Bark or Cookie Sliders, but sometimes, sometimes, I need a mommy treat. You know – for my timeouts!

Mocha has long been one of my favorite flavors. What’s not to love about coffee and chocolate?? Iced Mochas are my go-to coffee house beverage. I like to branch out every now and then, but when it comes right down to it – mochas and I are meant to be together.

Mocha and brownies are ALSO supposed to be together and this brownie recipe proves it! This recipe is from scratch but whips up so quick you’ll think you used a box mix. Love recipes like that! It’s moist, chewy, fudgy, and pretty much perfect. I put a mocha glaze and some mini chocolate chips on it because…well, I deserve it! And so do you:)

Now the brownies have a lovely, light, mocha flavor – perfect for anybody! The glaze has a much bolder mocha flavor which is perfect for coffee lovers but may be left off for a group with kids. Either way – they’re terrific!

When you know it’s time to indulge, what do you reach for? Brownies? Cookies? A drink???? I’ve found that chocolate and a big glass of milk and sure-fire mood boosters for me 🙂
