Eliana, I'm so glad I stumbled on your blog. I have a Mexican priest coming to our house for dinner in 3 weeks, and I'm going to make these brownies for him. I get Food Network magazine, but can you imagine if I'd used those pequin peppers? Poor Fr. Thomas would be blasted outta his seat at our humble table!!! Will definitely follow your advice and make it with cayenne instead.

This recipe is the same as my favorite go-to brownies, with some kick in flavor. I actually made them once with these changes, and my Mexican pastor raved about them. From then on, every time I make brownies for Bible study, I swirl in cayenne and cinnamon at the edge of the pan, just for him (He's of Mexican descent…the Costa Ricans don't like spicy too much.)

This is on my list to try – i don't bake until the weather is a bit cooler. Thanks for the tips and the experience. I saw the recipe and was intrigued. My family likes it hot so this is useful. And my guys are huge brownie fans so it's nice to know this is a good recipe.

These sound so interesting!! I've been wanting to try heat in a chocolate dessert and this looks like a good starting point.

Very cool story about the pequin peppers. I had never heard of them before – they look really cute, almost like candy – totally not how they taste/smell from the sounds of it!I'm glad that you liked these brownies. Sometimes it can be very rewarding to step outside of your comfort zone.

Whoa…those little peppers scare me! I just know, klutz that I am, I would end up getting some pepper oil in my eye or some where else! Yikes! Anyway, you tried and that's something! These brownies look fabulous! Glad you liked them!
