The only problem I had was cooking them -- I had to cook them about 20 minutes past the 30 minute time. But they were very good and worth the wait (er - weight?)! I think I will add more cayenne next time to make them a little spicier. Oh, and I didn't have any instant coffee, so I didn't use that. Yu-m-m-m-m-m! I have ow made these four times. I skip the coffee and add between 1/2 to 1 tsp of cayenne, depending on how spicy you want them.

Yum! I love the taste of these little goodies! I had to stop myself after 2 pieces. Thanks Jess!

sugar should really be mixed in with the wet ingredients. Learned that in culinary school.

Oooooo....these are so good! Love all the subtle flavor combinations. I was out of ground cloves so I substituted all spice. They ended up baking about 40 mins. and following your directions took them out of the oven when the toothpick came out clean. They were perfect! Next time I'll use a 1/2 t. of salt and up the cayenne to maybe a 1/2 t.. Thanks so much for sharing this delicious recipe. I'll be making these again.

I like the flavor that the spices give the brownies. We ate them hot out of the oven. Cut into 9 squares. Made as written. Next time I will reduce salt to 1/2 teaspoon because I found them too salty. May increase cinnamon to 1 1/2 teaspoons. Had to bake about 35 minutes.
