mexican brownies

I absolutely love chocolate, and if you do too, give these Mexican brownies a try. These thick, rich, and fudgy brownies are made with cayenne and cinnamon, but don’t let that scare you. The spices in this recipe give the brownies a wonderful depth of flavor I think you’ll love.
 
These from-scratch brownies are the perfect treat any time of year, but they’re an extra fun treat to top off a Cinco de Mayo celebration!

How to serve Mexican brownies

Of course, these brownies are perfect all on their own, especially warm out of the oven, but here are a few other ways to enjoy them.

  • Sprinkle them with powdered sugar, or powdered sugar mixed with cocoa, cinnamon, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • Top warm brownies with vanilla ice cream.
  • For even more decadence, top with vanilla ice cream and/or whipped cream, and warm dulce de leche caramel sauce!

    These sound amazing! Iโ€™m going to give them a go.
    By unsweetened chocolate, do you mean chocolate with a high cocoa percentage? Iโ€™m not in the USA, where I think you are based, so some ingredients are called different names.
    Thank you
