If you are a coffee lover, this recipe replaces the water in Betty's Caramel-Pecan Chocolate Dessert with dissolved coffee granules or espresso. By adding this caffeinated twist, you will turn your brownie into a mocha brownie. Save time on the dessert topping by replacing the caramel mixture with purchased dulce de leche, and spread it over your mocha brownie. Sprinkle with crunchy broken pecans and finish off with dollops of homemade whipped cream.
