These are wonderful brownies, but I think they're a bit too sugary - that's the dominant aftertaste for me. Love the heat in this.

We loved these brownies! The cayenne & cinammon combo give the chocolate a rich, deep taste and a little kick. The cayenne pepper is a must and I won't make brownies again without adding it.

Fudgey, moist, and super easy. Loved the cinnamon and cayenne - they really came through even stronger the next day. I added extra cayenne based on other reviews and was glad I did. Great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Absolutely delicious, moist. I've always been skeptical of cayenne/chili pepper in brownies but not anymore... the Best!!

I made these for a Cinco de Mayo luncheon. First, this is a remarkably simple recipe and comes together quickly...all the ingredients are pantry staples for me. Second, wow and oh my goodness! I am a chocolate fanatic and this did not disappoint and the cinnamon and I used ancho chile powder just made this an unbelievably unique treat. I also used Valrhona cocoa...just the ticket!

I loved these! I actually used Mexican chili powder instead of cayenne pepper and accidentally used 1/2 teaspoon instead of 1/4 and they were perfect. The perfect amount of spice to balance out the sweetness of the chocolate. I'm sure they would be great with some vanilla or cinnamon ice cream but I was happy to eat them without any topping. The people at my Cinco de Mayo party also really enjoyed them. My advice to other bakers is that you should either use a large pan for melting the butter if you want to make the entire recipe in one pan or be prepared to transfer the mixture to a bowl at some point since using a medium saute pan will make it hard to stir the mixture once you add the flour and cocoa. Happy baking!

Very delicious, and the hint of spice makes them extra special. Used regular cinnamon and cayenne.

OMG! Amazing! I made these and took em to work. Everyone raved about how tasty they were. These are great brownies. They were moist and chocolatey with a hint of spice. The outside was crisp while the inside was moist and fudgy. YUM!
