- ½ cup natural cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon instant coffee grounds (optional)
- 1 cup tightly packed light or dark brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 24-count mini muffin tin with baking spray.
- Combine the unsalted butter and semisweet chocolate chips in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir well, and repeat for another 15 seconds until melted completely.
- Stir in the natural cocoa powder along with instant coffee grounds if desired.
- Add light or dark brown sugar and granulated sugar. Stir until well combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract afterward.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture. Stir until just combined.
- Drop batter by approximately 1½ tablespoons into each prepared muffin cup using a cookie dough scoop if available.
- Transfer mini muffin tin to preheated oven. Bake for about 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few fudgy crumbs.
- Immediately take a rounded teaspoon and press it into each brownie bite to form wells for frosting.
- Allow brownies to cool entirely before filling them with frosting and decorating.
