This is a decadent brownie, and really rich so you might need a tall glass of milk when you dive into these babies.  We made these twice: once for my department Thanksgiving potluck and a second time for a potluck dinner at a friend’s place.  Both times people raved about how pretty and good they were; who doesn’t love a good brownie?  Yes, there we dressed the plate up with a couple of orchid flowers from the garden, both of which are edible.  The weirdest phenomenon happened when we brought the plate with the flowers: people would only eat the pieces around the flower.  This is a lesson learned for me:  if you decorate your food with flowers, you may, at some point, have to remove the flowers so that people would eat the food!  P.S., The brownies has espresso which adds a depth of flavor, but if you don’t like the coffee taste, just omit it.
