These addictive brownies combine the best of both worlds: rich chocolate and espresso. We love the added crunch of chopped hazelnuts--a very grown up brownie.

    Method: 

    Preheat oven to 350°F.

    Melt chocolates and butter over a double boiler, stir until smooth and remove from heat. In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and espresso. Set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat sugar, egg and vanilla on medium high until light colored about 2 minutes. Beat in chocolate until well combined. Add flour mixture slowly until well blended. Stir in hazelnuts.
