I haven’t bought it in a while, so I don’t even have a point of reference in my kitchen.

Important – use a high quality oil like Grapeseed Oil. Also, use slightly more (2-3 tbsp.) espresso and oil than recipe directs. Whip the coffee, cream, oil, & egg into a froth. Then add dry mix and fold gently for the 40 strokes until ingredients are moistened: do not break the smallish lumps! Pre-spray pan, then dust with unsweetened cocoa powder or, for true javaholics, finely crush a packet of Starbucks Via and it to dust the pan. Use spatula to level the mix in the baking pan, then evenly scatter 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks across top of batter. Use spatula to press chocolate gently below surface of mix. Arrange or scatter 1/2 cup walnut halves across surface, pressing into batter very lightly. Watch your baking time CAREFULLY! Bake the brownies at the recommended temperature but for only 1/2 the time, perhaps 20-25 minutes rather than 40-45 minutes. At the 20-minute mark, test batter 1″ from edge of pan with a sharp, clean knife. The batter should be thoroughly enough baked it will not cling heavily or coat the knife. Remove pan from oven, place entire pan on a cooling rack raised an inch or more above surface, cover pan very loosely with foil. This method allows the brownies to continue baking and then cooling very gradually while a beautiful bubbly baker’s crust forms across the top. Cool the brownies a minimum of 1 hour in a warm kitchen, 1/2 hour in a cold kitchen. Cut, dress, and serve. The most difficult step of this recipe is restraining yourself to only one serving. So don’t restrain yourself, indulge! 🙂
