A Sweet with a Kick







 

In my quest to try new things, I recently came across a recipe for Mexican Brownies. Once again located on the ever famous Pinterest site. It is from the afamilyfeast.com link. The Prep time is 10 minutes, cook time is 30 minutes, and it makes about 24 servings.

Ingredients:
4 ounces of Bakers' brand unsweetened chocolate
3/4 cup of butter
2 cups of sugar
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/4 ground cayenne pepper (used 1/8 tsp this time and it was just a hint of the cayenne)
1 cup all purpose flour

Instructions:
1.) preheat oven to 350 degrees
2.) Line a 13x9 inch baking pan with foil, making sure that the piece of foil is large enough to allow the ends of the foil to extend up and over the sides of the pan. (I use Reynolds baking tin foil so that my baked foods do not stick to the foil)
3.) In a large microwave safe bowl add the chocolate and the butter and microwave on high for 2 minutes. I melted them on the stove top and stirred until both were completely melted.
4.) Stir in the sugar
5.) Blend in the eggs and vanilla stirring to combine as much as possible
6.) Add the cinnamon, cayenne, and flour and mix thoroughly
7.) Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with fudgy crumbs
8.) Let cool completely. When cool use the foil to remove the brownies from the pan and onto a cutting board. Cut before serving.

I Sincerely hope that if you try this recipe that you will enjoy it. They are very sweet, and my kids did like them, but they didn't eat as many as I did, that goes for the hubby also.
