Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish. In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, cocoa powder, brown sugar, confectioners' sugar, and all those warm spices—cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger. In a separate bowl, melt the butter and mix it with the coffee, then let it cool for about five minutes. Once it's cooled, stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract. Pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients and add the egg. Use a wooden spoon to stir everything about 25 times until the batter is smooth. Then fold in the chocolate chips and give it another 25 gentle stirs. Spread the batter evenly in your prepared pan and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the edges start to pull away from the sides. Let the brownies cool completely before slicing and serving.

How to serve
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. A drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of powdered sugar also pairs nicely for an extra touch of sweetness.
Storage & leftovers
Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer freshness, keep them refrigerated and bring to room temperature before serving. You can also freeze them individually wrapped for up to 2 months.
