Breaking Bad BlackHat Brownies

A nice pick-me-up mocha-ish treat. Versatile. I suggest using the strongest most wicked coffee you can. I use Death Wish Coffee, at twice the caffeine, but for taste, you may want to use whatever brand you prefer tastes better.

Ingredients

½ Pound Butter Melted (choice of butter here is optional salted/unsalted) Also please check and abide by State Laws if adding any “alternative” butter.

4 Tablespoons Dark Cocoa

1 Cup Water

2 Cups Flour

2 Cups Sugar

1 Teaspoon Baking Soda

½ Teaspoon Salt

½ Cup Buttermilk

2 Eggs

1 Teaspoon Vanilla

Frosting

¼ Pound Butter (again, what butter you use is at your discretion)

4 Tablespoons Dark Cocoa
