S’MORES BROWNIE BITES WITH CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO SAUCE

Are they muffins are brownies? Both actually! But when it come to texture and density, it’s definitely a brownie. And when I eat brownies, I love a good chocolate drizzle. Even more so that there’s espresso involved.

These are simple to make, and will impress the family too! You don’t have to add espresso in the sauce, and you don’t even have to make the sauce. It’s strictly indulgent, and I’m all about it when you just need extra.

Add extra graham cracker crunches to the tops before you take a big bite!

But first, add coffee.
