Triple Chocolate Mocha Brownies are the perfect chocolate dessert! Fudgy chocolate brownies spiked with espresso powder, then topped with mocha chocolate buttercream frosting and dark chocolate drizzle! Great for anyone that loves chocolate and coffee!
I love making brownies! They are quick, simple and the most delicious chocolaty treat. Plus they can be made in so many flavors, like these Triple Chocolate Mocha Brownies.
So when I fantasize about my dream kitchen, I imagine whipping up a batch of brownies in my sanctuary.
My dream kitchen will be bright, large and decked out with the new Frigidaire Professional® Collection appliances. I am especially looking forward to a shiny new Frigidaire Professional Dishwasher and Frigidaire Professional Range. My dishwasher called it quits in January and I have yet to replace it. And my oven is temperamental.
The quirkiest requirement for my dream kitchen is the ultimate coffee station. Preferably with a breakfast bar so I can sit and enjoy my cup of hot coffee and maybe a mocha brownie, or two. Yes, I’m coffee obsessed.
My dream kitchen may not be in the cards for me just yet, but, the new Frigidaire Professional® Collection is now available at Lowe’s. Swapping out my dated appliances for the reliable, heavy duty, professional-grade Frigidaire Professional appliances means that I can update my kitchen without having to do a full remodel since they are designed to fit my current kitchen. Frigidaire Professional® appliances also offer a simple design and elevated cooking experience. The entire Collection of Frigidaire Professional appliances costs just $5,500.
The best part, these appliances also feature Smudge-Proof™ Stainless Steel that resists fingerprints and cleans easily. Perfect for cleaning off those little fingerprints that always seem to be everywhere thanks to a certain 5 year old little girl.
Some design updates for my dream kitchen such as lighting, a new coat of paint, new sink and fixture (a big, deep sink for all my dishes), back splash tiles, wall art and countertops will do the trick. A brand new kitchen without having to rip it apart sounds good to me. A fresh new look in just one weekend!
I made my own Dream Kitchen inspiration board with my design ideas. Or you can check out my Dream Kitchen Board on Pinterest.

So what do you think? Wouldn’t this just be the perfect kitchen for making Mocha Brownies?

Bake up a batch of brownies in the new Frigidaire Professional Range for superior even baking. Top them with mocha buttercream frosting and drizzled dark chocolate. Then actually put the dishes in the dishwasher instead of washing every dish by hand.
Make a cup of coffee at my coffee station. Then sit at my breakfast bar to enjoy my coffee and brownie.
Sounds perfect to me!

All you need to do to tug at my heartstrings is offer coffee & chocolate. Not only have you done that but you’ve combined them!! Everything about these brownies looks fabulous. That frosting looks so FLUFFY I just want to take a lick! Will be making these!
Haha! I know, what else could you need!?!?!
I LOVE your coffee themed dream kitchen! SO fun. As are these mocha brownies—chocolate decadence x 3 is my kind of dessert!
Thanks Liz! I love coffee … I love chocolate. 😀
Loooove the idea of a coffee station – and it should always be stocked with these brownies. 😉
Thanks Rachel! Coffee + Brownies = The Perfect Morning 😀
I want a dedicated coffee station, too. Dreamy. Just like these brownies. These look like the ultimate brownie to me!!
Thanks Brenda!
LOVE the coffee theme! I, too, have a major coffee obsession – can’t live without it!
Thanks Sharon!

Thanks Jane!
I think my dream kitchen includes Frigidaire too! 🙂 Loving these brownies, that frosting looks to die for.
Thanks Dorothy! It’s all about the frosting!
I love your dream lighting. I’m obsessed with glass bottle lights. 🙂 These mocha brownies are so mouthwatering. I can’t say no to the chocolate and coffee combination. YUM!
Thanks Erin! Someday I will get my dream kitchen. Until then I can have these Mocha Brownies anytime I want! lol
Must be fate…got up this morning thinking how I sooo needed a mocha fix.Your mocha brownie has saved my day!!! Now,I gotta reconfigure my kitchen for the coffee bar… >;<
Haha! Fate indeed. Glad I could help! Enjoy 😀
Your dream kitchen is perfect!! We are doing a minor kitchen renovation this summer, you’ve given me a few great ideas for our project!!
Thanks Cheryl! I hope you post photos of your kitchen update 🙂
I want to make these amazing brownies in your new amazing kitchen!
Whaaaat is going on here, and why don’t I have these brownies in my life immediately? You have made the ultimate chocoholic dessert!
LOL! Thanks Elizabeth. Gotta love the chocolate and coffee combo!
Do you think it would work to add the espresso powder to boxed brownie mix? I live in high altitude and am always worried about from scratch recipes not working. But i think my husband would love this for his birthday!
I think you can get away with adding espresso powder to a box mix. I moved to higher altitude last year. I should work on getting a high altitude brownie recipe up on my site 🙂
I couldn’t find espresso powder anywhere! Can I use instant coffee? Or even brewed coffee?
I’m not sure about the instant coffee. You could sub some of the liquid that you add to the brownie mix for string coffee. Box brownie mixes require water usually, right? If so, coffee should be fine instead 🙂
