Chocolate Mocha Squares
This recipe is my brothers´ favorite. These Chocolate Mocha Squares are super yummy. They are so fluffy and sweet. They will definitely satisfy any sweet tooth.
The recipe is also really simple and quick to make. They are pretty similar to brownies, but these are a lighter and fluffier version with a frosting that tastes like chocolate and mocha. A perfect combo!
This is not my healthiest recipe, but everyone can enjoy some treats once in a while, right? Everybody needs sweetness in their life and these treats will for sure bring that
In Finland people always bake these Chocolate Mocha Squares to school fairs and all kinds of events. These are perfect, for example, to a birthday party. Every kid here loves these.
