ancho chilli chocolate brownies

The mix of chocolate with cinnamon and perhaps
a little chilli is quintessentially Mexican, although it’s traditionally used in savoury rather than sweet cooking. The mild ancho powder we use here has a delicious flavour with elements of dried fruit and
adds a lovely depth to a simple brownie recipe
with a gentle, sweet heat that’s very subtle.
