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. Â 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!

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 🙂
Sandra McCollum says

Shannon {Cozy Country Living} says
Trish these brownies look amazing! I’ve been trying to really watch what I am eating lately, but I am making room for these on the weekend:)
Nicola - Pink Recipe Box says
Love how dense and fudge-like these brownies look, as well as the delish combination of coffee and chocolate!
Amy @ Amy's Healthy Baking says
You know me Trish, I’m ALWAYS in the mood for chocolate too! And that ganache? I’d eat an entire bowl of it with a spoon. No shame. 🙂 Pinned!
Jules says
Help,,,,,,,,,,11tbls of butter are not equal to 2/3 cup???
Selena says
Jules, 1 tablespoon = 15mL. 11 x 15mL = 165mL. Now take 165 and divide by 250mL (which is one cup) = 0.66. Also, 2 divide by 3 (2/3) = 0.66. Therefore, 11 tbls = 2/3 cups. I hope that helps. 🙂
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Thank you Selena!
Kelly - Life Made Sweeter says
Love the mocha in these brownies! Oh my gosh, that ganache is totally calling my name!
June Burns says
Oh yum! I’d be all over these, especially with the addition of coffee flavors 🙂
Sarah @ SnixyKitchen says
I 100% agree – coffee totally makes brownies taste better! I love that you topped these with ganache – I’d be the person licking the ganache off the top first:)
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Yaaass! Ganache is my obsession 🙂
Jocelyn @BruCrew Life says

Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust says
I’m dying for these!! OMG chocolate is always needed. And Mocha too!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
ALWAYS! Yes!
Mir says
You mean mocha crack brownies, right? Because these would not make it two seconds near my face. Anything brownie is a goner in my house, of course, but when you add ganache to that, there’s no way any brownie is coming out alive. These are magnificent!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Totally what I meant 😉 Ganache is the perfect rich frosting for brownies – love it! Thanks Mir!
Nici says
Oh, Trish… what have you done? Just when I was trying to get myself eating better for the new year, you draw me back into chocolate heaven with these delicious things. They sound amazing…especially with the mocha flavor! Thanks for sharing. I’m pinning to try soon! Hope your 2015 is off to a great start!
Blessings,
Nici
