- Add the butter sugar mix to the cocoa powder mix, and stir well!
- Add the flour and chocolate chips, and stir until fully combined.
- Pour batter into pan, and smooth if needed.
- Bkae for 30-35 minutes, you can test for doneness with a toothpick. Moist crumbs are okay, but there shouldn't be wet batter on the tooth pick.

Notes
The addition of espresso powder will give any coffee flavor, it will just enhance the chocolate flavor!
If you are a nutty person and enjoy nuts in your brownies, you can add the nut of choice at the same time as the chocolate chips!
