I purchased a couple (at $3 each) from the local organic farmers market.
They were so wonderful that I sought out a recipe to recreate them. This
is the recipe from BHG which produced identical AMAZING tasting
brownies. The best I've ever made. My only alterations were to use only
1 tsp of the cinnamon, to use 1.5 tsp chipotle powder, and I baked them
on parchment paper instead of foil for 45 minutes as they are so thick
and I prefer my brownies drier. This recipe is a keeper for sure!

Chocolate-Chipotle Brownies


* Nonstick cooking spray
* 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
* 1 cup butter
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
* 2-1/2 cups sugar
* 1 tablespoon instant espresso coffee powder
* 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (*note I used 1 tsp)
* 1 to 2 teaspoons ground chipotle powder (*note I used 1.5 tsp)
* 6 eggs
* 2 teaspoons vanilla
* Unsweetened cocoa powder

directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 13x9x2-inch baking pan with
foil, extending the foil over the edges of the pan. Lightly coat foil
with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. In a small saucepan, combine
chocolate and butter. Cook and stir over low heat until melted and
smooth. Cool slightly. In a small bowl, combine flour and cocoa powder;
set aside.

2. In a large bowl, combine sugar, espresso coffee powder, cinnamon, and
chipotle powder. Add chocolate mixture. Beat with an electric mixer on
medium speed for 1 minute, scraping side of bowl occasionally. Add eggs,
one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition just until
combined. Beat in vanilla just until combined. Add flour mixture, 1/2
cup at a time, beating on low speed just until combined. Beat on medium
speed for 1 minute more. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.

3. Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes (*note I baked 45 min) or
until edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan. Cool in pan on
a wire rack. Using the edges of the foil, lift the uncut brownies out of
the pan. Sprinkle with unsweetened cocoa powder. Cut into bars. Makes 32
bars.
