Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup canola oil, plus 1 tablespoon
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, for garnish
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13 by 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Put a medium glass bowl over a pot of simmering water. Add the chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon canola oil. Stir frequently until the chocolate melts, then remove from the heat and let cool a bit.
In a large bowl add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until well combined and the sugar has dissolved, about 2 minutes. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, pumpkin pie spice and chili powder. Add to the egg mixture and stir well until everything is combined. Add the remaining oil and mix with an electric hand mixer until smooth. Stir in the melted chocolate and mix well. Pour into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the brownie, about 30 to 35 minutes. Cool and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

I loved the entire process. I'm not a Sandra Lee fan however, but this recipe I LOVE. I would cut back on the chili powder however. It's pretty darn hot. Otherwise, the recipe is awesome, wonderful chocolately, moist brownies and I wouldn't change a thing, except the tbs. of chili powder. A tsp. would be more appropriate. Perhaps a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking would make it all come together. But either way, these are definitely fantastic. You can always eliminated the chili powder altogether. I'm so happy she mentioned adding a tbs of oil to the chocolate chips. Love that, it really made a huge difference when melting them!!! A must try recipe!!!! Beware of spice!~!!

I really enjoyed the process of making the brownies. But was very scared when i had to put that much chilli powder into the mixture. I stuck to the receipt and wanted to try it anyways. I had no idea how awful it would taste with that much chilli powder. i love mexican food, but i've never had that much in any of my foods before. i guess i like american type mexican food. i wonder if there is a true difference. ??? When making the brownies again with zero chilli powder it was AWESOME! melting the chocolate was a lot of fun.
