3. Whisk together the brownie mix, 1/3 cup water, oil, eggs, and 2 tablespoons espresso powder until well blended.
4. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenily.
5. Bake brownies for 30 to 35 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
