Although these slick brownies harbor spicy red pepper, chocolate and a hint of cinnamon tame the fire. Ingredients:
1 to 1 1/2 tsp. chile caribe pepper flakes or crushed red pepper flakes (we tested with penzeys) |
1 (19.5-oz.) package fudge brownie mix (we tested with pillsbury) |
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
2 large eggs |
1/2 cup canola oil |
1/4 cup water |
2 cups dark chocolate morsels, divided (we tested with nestlé chocolatier) |
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces |
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream |
chile caribe pepper flakes (optional) |
Directions:
1. Grind 1 to 1 1/2 tsp. pepper flakes with a mortar and pestle or spice grinder until pieces are small. Combine brownie mix, ground pepper flakes, and cinnamon in a medium bowl; whisk until well blended. Stir in eggs, oil, and water until blended. Add 3/4 cup chocolate morsels to batter; spoon batter into a lightly greased 13 x 9 pan. Bake at 350° for 28 to 31 minutes. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
2. Place 1 cup chocolate morsels and butter in a large glass bowl. Microwave at HIGH 1 minute or until melted; stir in whipping cream. Pour mixture over cooled brownies, spreading to form a thin even layer. Place remaining 1/4 cup chocolate morsels in a 1-cup glass measuring cup, and microwave at HIGH 30 seconds or until melted. Pour melted chocolate in a zip-top plastic freezer bag; snip a tiny hole in 1 corner of bag. Pipe a zigzag drizzle over iced brownies; sprinkle lightly with chile caribe flakes, if desired. Refrigerate brownies for easy cutting.
