I found this recipe a while ago, but I changed it quite a bit, so here is my version. This type of brownie is not too sweet nor too dense. I would definitely say this is a mature brownie.

MEXICAN HOT CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

Simple brownies made with Mexican hot chocolate disks. Great way to use them up! Enjoy! This recipe was borne from a desire to use up Mexican hot chocolate discs, which have a lot of sugar and some oil already. I used Ibarra® brand and the brownies were fantastic with a mild cinnamon flavor. I wouldn't try to substitute this ingredient.

MEXICAN HOT CHOCOLATE BROWNIES



Mexican Hot Chocolate Brownies image

The Mexican hot chocolate at Kneaders made me think of this. It's really more of an addition than a recipe, really.

Provided by Heather Mills

Categories     Chocolate

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 box betty crocker fudge brownie mix
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp (or to taste) cinnamon
1 dash(es) nutmeg

Steps:

  • 1. Simply follow the directions on the box, and add the three other ingredients... It doesn't sound like much, but it really changes the flavor.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the brownies will be. Look for dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaking will make the brownies dry.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to set and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Serve the brownies with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate chips, and nuts.

Conclusion:

Mexican brownies are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. They are perfect for any occasion and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give Mexican brownies a try! You won't be disappointed.
