TARRAZÚ COFFEE BROWNIES WITH MACADAMIA

TARRAZÚ COFFEE BROWNIES WITH MACADAMIA

A little coffee can take an already delicious brownie recipe over the top. Britt Tarrazú does the job nicely here.

Its bold flavor with natural chocolaty undertones is a perfect accompaniment to the sweet ingredients of this classic treat.

In a pinch, any strongly brewed Britt dark roast will do. Enjoy!
