Notes
You can omit the espresso powder if desired, or for a stronger flavor double the amount.If you like a nutty crunch, you can add 1/2 cup of toasted Walnuts or Pecans.**You can melt the chocolate either in the microwave using 30 seconds intervals until completely melted, or melt in a bowl that's been set over a saucepan of simmering water (but not touching the water) and stirred until shiny and smooth then cooled slightly.**
