Ingredients:
- 1 cup Marquette Coffee Columbia blend (brewed strongly)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or pecans)
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8 inch baking pan by greasing it and lining it with parchment paper.
- Brew Marquette Coffee: Start by brewing 1 cup of our Marquette Coffee Columbia blend strongly and set it aside to cool.
- Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the chocolate chips and butter over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually pour in the melted chocolate mixture, stirring continuously.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt into the wet ingredients mixture. Stir until just combined.
- Incorporate Brewed Coffee: Gradually pour in the brewed Marquette Coffee Columbia blend, stirring until the batter is smooth and well mixed.
- Fold in Nuts: Gently fold in the chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, slice into squares or bars of your desired size.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pair these delectable Marquette Mocha Crunch Bars with a freshly brewed cup of our Columbia blend for an irresistible coffee-infused treat!
