Cappuccino Brownies
Kind of a dessert brownie, unless you are hoping for a shot in the arm late afternoon-ish. We won't tell. Very cute, very dinner party suitable.
These cute little cappuccino brownies are not only pretty, but are just the perfect afternoon pick-me up that you can serve as occasion demands. The frosting alone is so delicious—I may have eaten some of it with a spoon. But you’ll never know.
This recipe first appeared in Cooking with Tenina the cookbook which is now out of print except for right here on my site. Go get it while stocks last!
