BROWNIE RECIPES Cinco De Mayo Brownie Recipe

Chocolate Chile & Cinnamon Brownies are the perfect treat to serve on Cinco de Mayo, the Mexican holiday which celebrates the victory of the Mexican Army over the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. The pairing of chocolate and cinnamon in desserts and beverages is a classic Mexican tradition, and many Mexican dishes also use chilies, both dried and fresh.

Ingredients
1 cup butter
4 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup flour
2 tablespoons New Mexican chile powder
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups chopped walnut(s)
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon New Mexican chili powder

Directions

Heat the butter and chocolate in a microwaveable container on high for about 2 minutes; stir until melted.
Meanwhile, mix the sugar, salt, flour, chile powder, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
Add the chocolate/butter mixture, vanilla, and eggs.
Mix well, then stir in the walnuts.
Spread the batter evenly in a well-greased and floured 13 x 9 inch baking dish. Bake at 350° F for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted halfway between the edge and the center comes out clean.
Mix the powdered sugar and chili powder. Sprinkle over the brownies. Cut into squares.

Side Note
Makes 32 brownies. May be served warm or cold.
