Black Russian is our favourite drink so of course I had to try this. Well-what can I say, Hubby had his third piece before it even had cooled off completely! Must say I was a little weary about the pepper, have never used pepper for baking anything sweet. At first I thought that it was a little glitch, something else was meant. Debated if I should leave it out. But then I thought, Chia knows what she is doing, the recipe MUST be correct. And indeed, the pepper belonged in these absolutely wonderful brownies. You can be assured that they will be made many, many times. So happy to have found this. Thanks a lot for sharing.

It's official. I have just replaced my regular brownie recipe that I have been making for over 15 years! Cake like and moist, these brownies are marvelous! I melted the chocolate and butter on low in the microwave, and baked about 28 minutes. I used chopped pecans because that is what I had on hand, and also used vanilla vodka. Thank you so much for sharing Chia. Nick's Mom
