I sure hope you’re in the mood for chocolate today. Me? I’m always in the mood for chocolate. Especially brownies. Especially mocha truffle brownies with a chocolate ganache frosting. Kind of like these.
It’s been awhile since I made brownies from scratch. I’ll be honest, I think the box mixes are pretty darn good 🙂 But when the recipe is as easy as this one, it’s hard to find an excuse not to make them.
I’m extremely partial to mocha recipes. It might stem from the fact that mochas are also my favorite hot beverage or it could be that the coffee really intensifies the chocolate flavor, making it even more rich and fabulous. Probably both.
This recipe makes a lot of brownies, perfect for a party, pot luck, or when you really just need to binge and chocolate is the only thing you want.
The brownies themselves are intensely chocolate-y and have a fabulous mocha flavor that makes you go…mmmmm!
Topped with the most decadent of all chocolate delights – ganache – these brownies are just begging for you to bite into them! So insanely good and perfect for all us chocolate lovers!

I’m making these fabulous looking brownies today, but please, to clarify: is the correct amount of butter 11 tablespoons PLUS 2/3 cup more?? (Or JUST 11 tablespoons that equals 2/3 cup). This could a huge mistake on my part and do not want to waste these ingredients. Thanks a bunch!

Sorry that wasn’t clear at all! It’s 11 tablespoons which is about equal to 2/3 cup. I fixed the recipe card as well!
Madeleine Fuchs says
Trish, hello! I am looking for a brownie recipe to make and dress up a bit for a baby shower.
Would the mocha-truffle brownie travel well and be able to sit on a dessert table (indoors & air conditioned for 2 hours?
Thanks

My brownies came out with a little thicker meringue like top with air between that and the actual bar. What could I have done wrong? I did use a gf flour mix. Thanks!

I don’t really cook with GF flour Susan but my guess is it might have something to do with that. Did they taste good?

Stephanie says
Hi, just wondering: salted butter or unsalted butter?!
Bonnie says
Can you freeze them
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Sure! Just make sure to wrap them up tightly first.
Patty says
These are fabulous! Even a person who doesn’t like coffee went back for more! Keeper recipe! Thanks.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Oh thank you Patty! Have a wonderful weekend!
Suzi says
These are phenomenal!! I’m not a chocoholic, so I do prefer them without the ganache, but my chocolate loving friends think they are perfection. I’ve made them several times now and officially declare them to be the best brownie EVER! I have tweaked it just a bit. Instead of using all white sugar, I have been using coconut sugar for half of what is required. They’re not quite as sweet, and I’m kidding myself that they’re a tad bit healthier.
Ria says
Did you let this cool completely in the pan before adding the ganache? This looks amazing! Can’t wait to try this out 🙂
