Food fashions fade in and out like pouffy skirts. It’s kind of tricky to know when to bite. The latest seems to be a hot and sweet tongue teasing, and we’re here to reassure you that this trend is for real. Sophisticated hedonists have always known that stoking up contrasts arouses your sensory pleasure…
So you don’t feel left out of the latest foodie flavors, we’ll share our own recipe for brownies that’ll have them on their knees, weeping and begging you for more:
The Bitches’ Devil Brownies
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
5ozs unsweetened chocolate
1 ½ sticks unsalted butter
3 eggs
1 ¾ cups sugar
1 cup flour
1 tsp vanilla
½-1 tsp crushed hot pepper flakes (up to you how hot you like it)
Pinch of kosher salt
¾ cup walnuts (optional)
8” square buttered baking dish
Melt chocolate and butter in microwave for approximately two minutes. Stir to completely dissolve chocolate. Add sugar and mix until you can’t see granules. Beat eggs and vanilla with a fork, add to chocolate and sugar mixture, and stir until glossy and smooth. Mix in hot pepper flakes, salt, and walnuts. Stir in flour until everything is mixed evenly together. Pour into buttered baking dish. Bake approximately 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out smooth. (Our advice is to slightly under-bake these, they taste even better).
So easy and you’ll look like a hip baking genius–you owe us big time.
P.S. This is our basic brownie recipe all tarted up. Skip the spice for the best brownies ever.

Ok…I agree these are divine and like you said every B knows what she likes!! I like people to think I took lots of time cooking something masterful that really is super easy and no one knows I cheated…so all my fellow B’s I am going to clue you in on my secret..
Take one family size Duncan Hines Brownie Mix
1 Stick of melted butter
Mix together (only the box mix and the butter) and place it into an greased 8×8 pan
Cook at 350 for about 30 min (stick a toothpick in center, it should come out fairly clean)
Now take a pack of Junior Mints while brownies are still hot and throw them on top and as they melt, spread them out over the brownies
Let cool, grab yourself some milk and you got a great sensation coming!!!
Enjoy!!!!
P.S. Yes they are fattening but I can tell you that these have saved my husband from a sure death by my hands when I have had a bad day.
