"Don't let the ingredients fool you...the pepper goes very well with chocolate. Gives it a good little bite to go along with the sweet."

These brownies were fabulous! I was amazed at what a big difference the ground red pepper made. It added another whole dimension to the brownies. And by the way, I used Chipotle pepper because the recipe didn't really specify what kind of pepper to use. I'll definitely be making these again. Thanks so much for posting!

I made these brownies for a tex-mex themed potluck and they were a big hit! Not only are they moist and chocolately, they have an extra, spicy kick! Plus, it is super easy to prepare. I would highly recommend!
