I love these brownies. Not quite as much as the sweet & salty brownies from Explorations, but they’re a close second, and they’re my favorite recipe out of Elements so far.
These are brownies that are typical of those in all of the Baked books – easy to make, fudgy and deeply chocolate. In addition to dark chocolate and cocoa powder, there’s also a bit of milk chocolate in the mix.
The spice isn’t overt. There’s some ancho chile powder, ginger and cinnamon. It’s a low-level heat that’s warm and pleasant and goes so perfectly with the level of chocolate in the brownies.
I gave most of them away. They needed to be out of the house, and quick, or I would have eaten the entire pan.

Mmmm… Your brownie looks so dark and delicious! :)
That is a beauty of a brownie! Really is dark and rich looking. Great pic.
Yes – those Sweet& Salty Brownies are hard to beat! I’m gad you enjoyed these – I went for the Peanut Butter version.
Agree – yours look especially dark and fudgy – loved these! Will be in my collection now – along with their salted caramel ones!
I just love your beautiful photo! The chili in the background is perfect.
I agree that these brownies have to be given away or the baker will eat them all. Great picture.
Love how dark and rich your brownies look! Yummy!
These look SO good. Thanks for sharing with us!
i brought mine to work, and one of my colleagues was bouncing off the walls after having like 10 pieces! was good stuff!
I know what you mean about needing to get these out of the house…I could have eaten the entire pan!
I loved these brownies too, I love you photo, with the out of focus pepper in the background!
I have to agree, this is one of my top fave recipes from Elements so far– sooo fantastic! Yours do look particularly dark and sinful in that photo. :) The Sweet & Salty is the only BAKED brownie variety I haven’t made yet, believe it or not (though I’ve had one at the bakery). I’m beholden to the original brownie recipe, but I know I will love the S&S… I too will need to get these out of the house for co-worker holiday treats next week– right now they’re in the freezer… and I’m trying not think about them! By the way, I was trying to reply to your comment on my post about Penzeys, but I guess you can’t reply to a reply for some reason. Yes, Penzeys is a perfect meeting point for a field trip– any time!! :)
