Mexican hot chocolate brownies

I’ve been trying out recipes for Mexican hot chocolate brownies for a while. The idea of a fudgy brownie with a nice spice of cinnamon was an intriguing prospect. Plus I have leftover hot chocolate tabs from my Mexican hot chocolate cookies. It took me a more than a few times, but I finally found a winner. This recipe has the perfect blend of sweet and spicy, chocolate and fudgy, and chewy centers with crunchy corners. And you only need one pan to make the brownie batter.

I love how simple this recipe for Mexican hot chocolate brownies is. You melt the butter, chocolate chips, hot chocolate tab in a large saucepan. Then, you can stir the rest of the ingredients in the same pan. A few folds later, you have an easy batter. I like to add a dash of vanilla and cinnamon. The hot chocolate tab does have cinnamon in it, but I would recommend adding a bit more. More cinnamon won’t make the brownies too hot. If you want a much stronger cinnamon flavor, you can add at least a teaspoon. From there, you spread it in a greased 9×9 pan and bake.

Be careful to watch these while baking. I first tried baking these brownies for 30 minutes. That was a disaster, and they were basically a chocolate brick. I would check them at around 18-20 minutes with a toothpick. I found that 25 minutes gets you a nice crunchy crust with a fudgy, gooey center. Mac declared that they were the perfect blend of crunchy and chewy.
