Mexican Espresso Brownies with an Espresso Chocolate Glaze

Proof positive that tried and true can also equate to better? My recipe won the contest and here is where it has been incorporated into her ‘Cereal’ of the event. I love these brownies; they are rich and decadent (read…not cakey, not one bit) and that combination of flavors? Really…what is there not to love?
