Triple Espresso Brownies

Last updated on November 6, 2019 By Anna 9 Comments

Update: I’m re-reading this post years later and apologize for how annoying it is. I actually can’t stand Talk Like a Pirate Day. That being said, Triple Espresso Brownies are great when you have some packaged brownie mix and want to doctor it up.

————————————————————
Yo Ho! It’s Talk Like a Pirate Day, so I’ve pillaged and plundered Pillsbury’s website for a recipe.

“X” Marks the Spot!  Here’s the recipe for Triple Espresso Brownies.

This one’s a treasure, me hearties. But Avast! It calls for brownie mix. If ye be looking for scratch, well, WALK THE PLANK!

    Oh man, you are killing me today! LJS is one of Jeff’s favorite places to splurge if we actually go out to eat somewhere.

    Ahoy! Shannon,

    I think I want to meet your daughter’s teacher.

    The brownies are really good — they’re an old bake-off winner.

    Amy, yes. I’m going to pick up dinner at Long John Silvers. ARRRRRR! Then I’m going to stop by the liquor store and get some rum.

    This is too funny, Anna! My daughter came home from school with a bunch of papers written in “Pirate speak” yesterday, and I thought it was just for her class!

    Thanks for the smile! The brownies sound dee-lish. Hope you are doing well!

    🙂
