Espresso Brownies

This post is also for this month’s Click Event with the theme “Stacks”

They say always use the best quality cooking chocolate you can afford to achieve the best result in making brownies. But the thing is dark cooking chocolate here is so darn expensive and I tried couple of times making brownies with a really good brand like Callebaut and Lindt but why oh why I found they were too bitter to my taste buds. Was it just me or what? I used to use Colatta dark cooking chocolate back home and it was totally fine. It seems that dark cooking chocolate here contains more cocoa than back home? Anyone got answer? I guess I’m just so used to product I used back home that when I got the chance to use other type of product my tongue refused it 😛 But hey that’s also okay, it means I didn’t have to break the bank just to make a loaf of brownies.
Oh and for your information this brownies I made with supermarket brand milk cooking chocolate, precisely the
Albert Heijn (AH) merk. AH you should thank me for a free commercial 😛 The price was lets say 1/4 of the branded chocolate but it was better for my taste buds.

Verdict: one of the best brownies I made ever. Thanks to Ning Rachmah for sharing the recipe.
