Whoever said brownies can’t be fancy clearly never met espresso brownies parked like royalty on a posh vegan charcuterie board.
These mocha-kissed squares pack enough caffeine to replace your third coffee and enough chocolate to fix your mood and your attitude.
They look rustic, taste expensive, and serve main-character energy next to nuts, fruits, and dairy-free cheese like it’s their full-time job.
Perfect for brunch, breakups, or that one smug friend who “doesn’t eat sugar” (watch her cave).
Bake them, slice them, flaunt them—these brownies are pure edible drama with a dark roast soul.
