I cannot STAND coffee, so while I am a chocolate lover, I hesitate to try this recipe because of the espresso powder. I am not a cook or baker by any means, so I would ask this: what could I substitute for the espresso powder? I was thinking maybe cocoa powder? (Maybe dutched cocoa powder?) Or something vanilla, which in my experience enhances the chocolate flavor, might work...but what, I dunno. Came across this recipe on Stumble Upon, adding the blog to my bookmarks and will eb beack! Thanks for the recipes! Kim, the espresso powder in there simply enhances the chocolate flavor - you can't taste it. BUT - if you really can't even stand the thought of it, just plain leave it out. It's not necessary to the texture, etc. Glad this recipe made it onto stumbleupon! Thanks for adding us to your bookmarks, we appreciate it. - PJH
