Ibarra Mexican Brownies

Submitted by ksparker

"These brownies have a little kick of cinnamon from a melted down Mexican Hot Chocolate bar (this can be found in the Mexican section of the grocery store or in a Latin American food store). I use Ibarra brand, but Abuelita or any Mexican hot chocolate bar would do. I have substitued applesauce for the butter and this is the only brownie recipe that has still turned out moist for me when doing so. My sister shared this recipe with me."
